Answer:

108.25 ºC

Explanation:

The boiling point elevation for a given solute in water is given by the expression:

ΔTb = i Kbm

where ΔTb is the boiling point elevation

           i is the van´t Hoff factor

           Kb the boiling constant which for water is 0.512 ºC/molal

           m is the molality of the solution

The molality of the solution is the number of moles per kilogram of solvent. Here we run into a problem since we are not given the identity of the coolant, but a search in the literature tells you that the most typical are ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. The most common is ethylene glycol and this it the one we will using in this question.

Now the i factor in the equation above is 1 for non ionizable compounds such as ethylene glycol.

Our equation is then:

ΔTb =  Kbm

So lets calculate the molality and then ΔTb:

m = moles ethylene glycol / Kg solvent

Converting gal to L

4.90 g x 3.785 L/gal = 18.55 L

in a 50/50 blend by volume we have 9.27 L of ethylene glycol, and 9.27 L of water.

We need to convert this 9.27 l of ethylene glycol to grams assuming a solution density of 1 g/cm³

9.27 L x 1000 cm³ / L = 9273.25 cm³

mass ethylene glycol = 9273.25 cm³ x 1 g/cm³ = 9273.25 g

mol ethylene glycol = 9273.25 g/ M.W ethylene glycol

                                 = 9273.25 g / 62.07 g/mol =149.4mol

molality solution =  149.4 mol / 9.27 Kg H₂O = 16.12 m

( density of water 1 kg/L )

Finally we can calculate ΔTb:

ΔTb =  Kbm = 0.512  ºC/molal x 16.12 molal = 8.25 ºC

boiling point = 100 º C +8.25 ºC = 108.25 ºC

( You could try to solve for propylene glycol the other popular coolant which should give around 106.7 ºC )

Which of the following species has the greatest
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there is a negative charge on an atom then we add the charge with the number of electrons. Whereas when there is a positive charge on an atom then we subtract the charge from the number of electrons.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, number of electrons present in Cl^{-} is 17 + 1 = 18 electrons.

Atomic number of cobalt is 27. So, number of electrons present in Co^{4+} is 27 - 4 = 23 electrons.

Atomic number of iron is 26. So, number of electrons present in Fe^{2+} is 26 - 2 = 24 electrons.

Atomic number of vanadium is 23. So, number of electrons present in V is 23 electrons.

Atomic number of scandium is 21. So, number of electrons present in Sc^{2-} is 21 + 2 = 23 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species, Fe^{2+} has the greatest  number of electrons.
