<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

Which one is a chemical reaction? Why?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Copper turns green on exposure to air

Explanation:

Liquid water freezes to form ice: Physical change

Reason: Water can melt back when it becomes ice.

Copper turns green on exposure to air: Chemical change

Reason: The copper can not change back from the green state when it turns green.

Define saturated and unsaturated fats​
saul85 [17]

Answer:

SATURATED: Saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds.

UNSATURATED: Unsaturated fats are loosely packed. They tend to be liquid at room temperature.

<em>There are two main types of unsaturated fat:</em>

<u>Monounsaturated</u>

<u>Polyunsaturated</u>

K + I - > KI 
Potassium (needs to lose 1 electron) responds with Iodine (needs to pick up 1 electron) to fulfill both component's octet, shaping a salt, potassium iodide 
This is a similar case for NaCl, simply unique components. Trust this made a difference.
