A metal, M , of atomic mass 56 amu reacts with chlorine to form a salt that can be represented as MClx. A boiling point elevatio

n experiment is performed to determine the subscript x , and therefore, the formula of the salt. A 22.9 g sample of the salt is dissolved in 100.0 g of water and the boiling point of the solution is found to be 375.93 K. Find the formula of the salt. Assume complete dissociation of the salt in solution g

Answer:

Formula for the salt: MCl₃

Explanation:

MClₓ → M⁺  +  xCl⁻

We apply the colligative property of boiliing point elevation.

We convert the boiling T° to °C

375.93 K - 273K = 102.93°C

ΔT = Kb . m . i

where ΔT means the difference of temperature, Keb, the ebulloscopic constant for water, m the molality of solution (mol of solute/kg of solvent) and i, the Van't Hoff factor (numbers of ions dissolved)

ΔT = 102.93°C - 100°C = 2.93°C

Kb = 0.512 °C/m

We replace data: 2.93°C = 0.512 °C/m . m . i

i = x + 1 (according to the equation)

22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x) = moles of salt / 0.1kg = molality

We have calculated the moles of salt in order to determine the molar mass, cause we do not have the data. We replace

2.93°C = 0.512 °C/m . [22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x)] / 0.1kg . (x+1)

2.93°C / 0.512 m/°C = [22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x)] / 0.1kg . (x+1)

5.72 m = [22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x)]/ 0.1 (x+1)

5.72 . 0.1 / [22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x)] = x+1

0.572 / (22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x) = x+1

0.572 (56 + 35.45x) / 22.9 = x+1

0.572 (56 + 35.45x) = 22.9x + 22.9

32.03 + 20.27x = 22.9x + 22.9

9.13 = 2.62x

x = 3.48 ≅ 3

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. Solve for the number of bacteria tha
pshichka [43]
The number of bacteria is given by:
N(t) = N(o) x 2ⁿ
Where N(t) is the number after n hours have passed and N(o) is the original number which is 15.
The number grown in the 12th hour is the difference in the number after the 11th and the 12th hour. Thus:
15 x 2¹² - 15 x 2¹¹
= 30,720 bacteria
