While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases.
So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.
Answer: CoBr3 < K2SO4 < NH4 Cl
Justification:
1) The depression of the freezing point of a solution is a colligative property, which means that it depends on the number of particles of solute dissolved.
2) The formula for the depression of freezing point is:
ΔTf = i * Kf * m
Where i is the van't Hoof factor which accounts for the dissociation of the solute.
Kf is the freezing molal constant and only depends on the solvent
m is the molality (molal concentration).
3) Since, you are assuming equal concentrations and complete dissociation of the given solutes, the solute with more ions in the molecular formula will result in the solution with higher depression of the freezing point (lower freezing point).
4) These are the dissociations of the given solutes:
a) NH4 Cl (s) --> NH4(+)(aq) + Cl(-) (aq) => 1 mol --> 2 moles
b) Co Br3 (s) --> Co(3+) (aq) + 3Br(-)(aq) => 1 mol --> 4 moles
c) K2SO4 (s) --> 2K(+) (aq) + SO4 (2-) (aq) => 1 mol --> 3 moles
5) So, the rank of solutions by their freezing points is:
CoBr3 < K2SO4 < NH4 Cl
