In order to determine the increase in boiling point of a solvent due to the presence of a solute, we use the formula:
ΔT = Kb * m * i
Here, Kb is a property of the solvent, so remains constant regardless of the solute. Moreover, because the concentration m has been fixed, this will also not be considered. In order to determine which solute will have the greatest effect, we must check i, the van't Hoff factor.
Simply stated, i is the number of ions that a substance produces when dissolved. Therefore, the solute producing the most ions will be the one causing the greatest change in boiling point temperature.
Answer:
b) It produces electrical current spontaneously.
Explanation:
Cells capable of converting chemical energy to electrical energy and vice versa are termed Electrochemical cells. There are two types of electrochemical cells viz: Galvanic or Voltaic cells and Electrolytic cells. Voltaic cell is an elctrochemical cell capable of generating electrical energy from the chemical reaction occuring in it.
The voltaic cell uses spontaneous reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions to generate ions in a half cell that causes electric currents to flow. An half cell is a part of the galvanic cell where either oxidation or reduction reaction is taking place. Hence, the spontaneous production of electric currents is true about Voltaic/Galvanic cells.
Neon has filled its outer shells, therefore it is very stable and does not need to react with other elements and doesn’t form compounds.
Answer:
A. The total mass of the reactants in a reaction equals the total mass of the product(s).
Explanation:
The law of conversation of matter tells us that in a chemical reaction, matter is never created or destroyed, it's simply converted from one form to another. So the mass of reactants should always equal the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
The atomic mass would not change since the mass of an electron is negligible compared to the mass of protons and neutrons
