Calcium chloride because it makes three ions for every one compounds. Colligative properties are affected by moles of substance that disrupt the surface tension. Sodium chloride makes only two and molecular substances don't dissociate

Answer:

The correct answer is AlCl₃ 0.5 M

Explanation:

Freezing-point point depression is a colligative property and it is directly proportional to the number of particles in which the solute dissociates in solution:

ΔTf= Kf x m x i

Where ΔTf is the freezing-point depression (fusion temperature of pure solvent - fusion temperature of solvent in solution), Kf is the cryoscopic constant, m is the molality of solution and i is the van't Hoff factor. The van't Hoff factor indicates the number of particles in which the solute dissociates per individual solute molecule. As more the van't Hoff factor, more the freezing point depression, and lower the freezing point.

As all the solutes has the same concentration (0.5 M), the solution with the lowest freezing point will be one whose solute dissociates into the largest amount of particles:

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻ ⇒ i= 2

CaCl₂→ Ca⁺ + 2 Cl⁻ ⇒ i= 3

AlCl₃→ Al³⁺ + 3 Cl⁻ ⇒ i= 4

C₁₂H₂₂O₁ ⇒ i= 1

Thus, the AlCl₃ 0.5 M solution will be the one with lowest freezing point.

State Modern periodic Table

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

According to the modern periodic law, the properties of the elements and their compounds are a periodic function of their atomic numbers. Thus, in the modern periodic table, atomic number forms the basis of the classification of elements;The modern table is called 'long form' of the periodic table.

Succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate. The reaction is inhibited by malonic acid, which rese

allsm [11]

Answer:

Here malonic acid acts as a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase

Explanation:

Malonic acid structurally resembles succinic acid as a result the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase cannot distinguish between malonic acid and succinic acid.

That"s why malonic acid interact with succinate dehydrogenase thereby blocking the catalytic activity of the later.

As this mechanism is a type of competitive inhibition that"s why increasing the concentration of substrate succinic acid can reduce the inhibitory effect of malonic acid.

Write 2,469,100 in Engineering Notation with 3 significant figures.

Gala2k [10]

Answer: $2.47\times 10^{6}$

Explanation:

Engineering notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form times 10 raise to the power. It is similar to the scientific notation but in engineering notation, the powers of ten are always multiples of 3.

The engineering notation written in the form:

$a\times 10^b$
