The solution that will have the lowest freezing point is 5.0 SODIUM CHLORIDE.
Adding solute to solvents usually result in the depression of the freezing point. The higher the quantity of the solute that is added, the lower the freezing point of the solution.
We can explain this in a molecular level. We know that the difference between a gas and a liquid of the same composition is how fast their molecules are moving. So given a gas, their molecules are farther and faster when moving, but when they are cooled their bulk kinetic energy decreases. In other words their molecules start to move closer and move slower until it behaves more like a liquid molecule. This is the time when gases condense.
Answer:
4.78 %.
Explanation:
<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>
<em></em>
<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>
<em></em>
mass of MgSO₄ = 50.0 g,
mass of water = d.V = (0.997 g/mL)(1000.0 mL) = 997.0 g.
mass of the solution = mass of water + mass of MgSO₄ = 997.0 g + 50.0 g = 1047.0 g.
<em>∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100</em> = (50.0 g/1047.0 g) x 100 = <em>4.776 % ≅ 4.78 %.</em>
