This uses the concept of freezing point depression. When faced with this issue, we use the following equation:
ΔT = i·Kf·m
which translates in english to:
Change in freezing point = vant hoff factor * molal freezing point depression constant * molality of solution
Because the freezing point depression is a colligative property, it does not depend on the identity of the molecules, just the number of them.
Now, we know that molality will be constant, and Kf will be constant, so our only unknown is "i", or the van't hoff factor.
The van't hoff factor is the number of atoms that dissociate from each individual molecule. The higher the van't hoff factor, the more depressed the freezing point will be.
NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl-, so it has i = 2
CaCl2 will dissociate into Ca2+ and 2 Cl-, so it has i = 3
AlBr3 will dissociate into Al3+ and 3 Br-, so it has i = 4
Therefore, AlBr3 will lower the freezing point of water the most.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Resonance is a concept in chemistry that describes bonding in polyatomic molecules or ions whose structure cannot be efficiently described by a single Lewis structure. Individual resonance structures do not actually exist, that is, they are not real. None of the contributing resonance structures can be said to adequately represent the molecule or ion. However, the hybrid of all the possible resonance structures of the molecule or ion gives a holistic representation of the exact structure of the molecule or ion.
There are some gases in the atmosphere which trap the heat escaping from the Earth and stop it from travelling back into space. These gases are called greenhouse gases. The glass in a greenhouse has a similar effect on the Sun's rays and so it is called the Greenhouse Effect.
