Answer:

- 0.380ºC

Explanation:

The lowering of the freezing point of a solvent is a colligative property ruled by the formula:

$\Delta T_f=K_f\times m\times i$

Where:

ΔTf is the lowering of the freezing point

Kf is the molal freezing constant of the solvent: 1.86 °C/m

m is the molality of the solution

i is the van't Hoff factor: the number of particles (ions) per unit of ionic compound.

a) molality, m

m = number of moles of solute/ kg of solvent

number of moles of CaI₂ = mass in grams/ molar mass

number of moles of CaI₂ = 25.00g / 293.887 g/mol = 0.0850667mol

m = 0.0850667mol/1.25 kg = 0.068053m

b) i

Each unit of CaI₂, ideally, dissociates into 1 Ca⁺ ion and 2 I⁻ ions. Thus, i = 1 + 2 = 3

c) Freezing point lowering

ΔTf = 1.86 °C/m × 0.068053m × 3 = 0.3797ºC ≈ 0.380ºC

Part 1. A glass bottle, which is half-filled with water, has a balloon attached to its opening. The bottle is placed in a hot wa

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the molecules that compose a gas are in constant random motion.

The temperature of a gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.

When the balloon was placed in a hot water bath, the balloon becomes larger because the gas inside the balloon expands. This is because, more kinetic energy is supplied to the molecules of the gas hence they spread out.

When the balloon is placed in cold water, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules in the balloon decreases as temperature decreases hence the balloon shrinks

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer: In the reaction, magnesium atoms lose electrons.

Explanation:

An ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom. These are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal or a metal reacts with a polyatomic ion or a reaction between two polyatomic ions takes place.

Magnesium is 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

This element will loose 2 electrons to form $Mg^{2+}$ ion

Chlorine is 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

This element will gain 1 electron to form $Cl^-$ ion

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

The ionic compound formed is $MgCl_2$
