<u>Answer:</u> The molality of solution is 0.122 m and molar mass of unknown substance is 128.16 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

\Delta T_f=iK_fm

where,

\Delta T_f = depression in freezing point = 2.50°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

K_f = molal freezing point elevation constant = 20.5°C/m

m = molality of solution = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2.50^oC=1\times 20.5^oC/m\times m\\\\m=\frac{2.50}{1\times 20.5}=0.122m

  • To calculate the mass of cyclohexane, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of cyclohexane = 0.779 g/mL

Volume of cyclohexane = 20.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.779g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of cyclohexane}}{20.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of cyclohexane}=(0.779g/mL\times 20.0mL)=15.58g

  • To calculate the molar mass of substance for given molality, we use the equation:

\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute = 0.2436 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute = ? g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (cyclohexane) = 15.58 g

Molality of solution = 0.122 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.122=\frac{0.2436\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times 15.58}\\\\M_{solute}=\frac{0.2436\times 1000}{0.122\times 15.58}=128.16g/mol

Hence, the molality of solution is 0.122 m and molar mass of unknown substance is 128.16 g/mol

Explain why vanadium (radius=134 pm) and copper (radius=128 pm) have nearly identical atomic radii, even though the atomic numbe
Viktor [21]
<span>There are few main factors affecting the atomic radii, the outermost electrons and the protons in the nucleus and also the shielding of the internal electrons. I would speculate that the difference in radii is given by the electron clouds since the electrons difference in these two elements is in the d orbital and both has at least 1 electron in the 4s (this 4s electron is the outermost electron in all the transition metals of this period). The atomic radio will be mostly dependent of these 4s electrons than in the d electrons. Besides that, you can see that increasing the atomic number will increase the number of protons in the nucleus decreasing the ratio of the atoms along a period. The Cu is an exception and will accommodate one of the 4s electrons in the p orbital.

</span><span>Regarding the density you can find the density of Cu = 8.96g/cm3 and vanadium = 6.0g/cm3. This also correlates with the idea that if these two atoms have similar volume and one has more mass (more protons;  density is the relationship between m/V), then a bigger mass for a similar volume will result in a bigger density.</span>
