A woman informs her engineer husband that "hot water will freeze faster than cold water." He calls this statement nonsense but h

e does so in a polite sensitive manner. She answers by saying that she has actually timed the freezing process for ice trays in the home refrigerator and found that hot water does indeed freeze faster. As a friend, you are asked to settle the argument and preserve family harmony. Is there any logical explanation for the woman's observation

Answer:

Explanation:

It could be as a result of evaporation from the hot water causing it to have less mass than usual. Evaporation will allow the volume of the hot water to decrease and by so doing will cool faster than cold water which is at a higher mass. This is how I will explain my observations to them.

A student made the lewis dot diagram of a compound shown. What is the error in the Lewis dot diagram?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

B. Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O.

Explanation:

Metals react by loosing electrons while non metals react by gaining electrons.

Reactions occur as each element strives to attain an octet electron configuration in the outer energy level.

It is easier for magnesium to loose 2 electrons than to gain six because loosing the two requires less energy.

Oxygen on the other hand reacts by gaining the two electrons lost by magnesium since it is easier to gain the two than to loose the six. Gaining the two electrons for oxygen requires less energy than loosing the six.

In summary, magnesium looses two electrons that are transferred to oxygen.

Potassium carbonate dissolves as follows:
lara [203]

The 0.25 volume in liters of 1.0 M K_{2}CO_{3} solution is required to provide 0.5 moles of K(aq).

Calculation,

The Potassium carbonate dissolves as follows:

K_{2}CO_{3}(s) → 2K(aq) +CO_{3}^{-2} (aq)

The mole ratio is 1: 2

It means, the 1 mole K_{2}CO_{3} required to form 2 mole of K(aq).

To provide 0.5 mole of K(aq) = 1 mole ×0.5 mole /2 mole required by K_{2}CO_{3}.

To provide 0.5 mole of K(aq) ,0.25 mole required by K_{2}CO_{3}.

The morality of  K_{2}CO_{3} = 1 M = number of moles / volume in lit

The morality of  K_{2}CO_{3} =   1 M = 0.25 mole/ volume in lit

Volume in lit = 0.25 mole / 1 M = 0.25 mole/mole/lit = 0.25 lit

What is the freezing point of an aqueous solution that boils at 105.0 ∘C? Express your answer using two significant figures.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

T°fussion of solution is -18°C

Explanation:

We have to involve two colligative properties to solve this. Let's imagine that the solute is non electrolytic, so i = 1

First of all, we apply boiling point elevation

ΔT = Kb . m . i

ΔT = Boiling T° of solution - Boiling T° of pure solvent

Kb =  ebuliloscopic constant

105°C - 100° = 0.512 °C kg/mol  . m . 1

5°C / 0.512 °C mol/kg = m

9.7 mol/kg = m

Now that we have the molality we can apply, the Freezing point depression.

ΔT = Kf . m . i

Kf =  cryoscopic constant

0° - (T°fussion of solution) = 1.86 °C/m  . 9.76 m . 1

- (1.86°C /m . 9.7 m) = T°fussion of solution

- 18°C = T°fussion of solution
