A solution that contains 55.0 g of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) in 250. g of water freezes at –2.34°C. Calculate the molar mass (in

Answer:

M=174.87g/mol

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we consider the depression in the freezing point as:

\Delta T=-i*m*Kf

Whereas the van't hoff factor for ascorbic acid is 1 since it is covalent, thus, we solve for the molality as shown below:

(-2.34-0)\°C=-m*1.86\°C/m\\\\m=\frac{-2.34\°C}{-1.86\°C/m} =1.26m

Next, since molal units are mol/kg, we can compute the present moles of ascorbic acid in the 250 g (0.25kg) of water:

n=1.26mol/kg*0.25kg=0.315mol

Finally, the molar mass with the given 55.0 g of ascorbic acid:

M=\frac{55.0g}{0.315mol}\\ \\M=174.87g/mol

Regards.

What effect does supercritical mass have on a nuclear reaction?
Ksju [112]
Supercritical mass results to an increase in the rate of fission. There is a chain reaction that will occur. Nuclear fission or explosion used in atomic bombs relies on supercritical mass. An atom splits into two, with each splitting into two pairs and so on, releasing energy in each step.
