Answer: option b) 3.0 M solution of ionic compound aluminum chloride (AlCl₃)


Explanation:


1) The solutions given are:


a) 3.0 M solution of molecular compound sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁)


b) 3.0 M solution of ionic compound aluminum chloride (AlCl₃)


c) 3.0 M solution of ionic compound lithium bromide (LiBr)


d) 3.0 M solution of ionic compound calcium fluoride (CaF₂)


2) The elevation of the boiling point of a solution is a colligative property.


3) That means that the elevation of the boiling point depends on the number of solute particles in the solvent and not the identity per se of the solute particles.


4) The formula of the elevation of the boiling point, ΔTb is:


ΔTb = i × m × Kb.


Where:


i) i is the Van't Hoof constant and is equal to the number of particles for each molecule or unit formula.


If the compound is a molecule (covalent bond) i = 1, if the compound is ionic, i is the number of ions product of the dissociation (I will show you how to determine it for each of the compounds given).


ii) m is the molality of the solution (moles of solute per kg of solvent)


iii) Kb is the molality boiling constant. It is a constant for every solvent. It does not change with the solute.


4) For our four compounds, m and kb are egual, so you must analyze the i factor for each solution.


a) 3.0 M solution of molecular compound sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁)


Since it is a molecular compound it does not dissociate and i = 1


b) 3.0 M solution of ionic compound aluminum chloride (AlCl₃)


Assume the ionic compound dissociates 100%. The for eveary unit of AlCl₃ there will be 4 ions. Those are 4 particles and means that i = 4.


c) 3.0 M solution of ionic compound lithium bromide (LiBr)


Assuming also 100% dissociation of this ionic compound, since every LiBr unit dissociates into two ions, i = 2.


d) 3.0 M solution of ionic compound calcium fluoride (CaF₂)


Following same reasoning, i = 3.


5) Conclusion: since the greatest i factor is 4, and given all the other factors equal, the 3.0 M solution of ionic compound aluminum chloride (AlCl₃), option b, would be the aqueous solutions with the highest boiling point,

The value of boiling point depend on the chemical bond that holds the particles of the substance together and the molecular weight of that substance. Looking at the substances given in the question, the ionic compounds will have the higher boiling point and AICI3 which have the highest molecular mass will have the highest boiling point. Therefore the correct option is B.

Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;
marishachu [46]

<u>Answer:</u> Pairs are:  (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

  • <u>For a:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^2

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

  • <u>For b:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^3

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

  • <u>For c:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

  • <u>For d:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^2

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

  • <u>For e:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^6

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

  • <u>For f:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are:  (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

What is the full number for 5.7x10^4
dsp73

Answer:

5.7*10^4 is equal to 57,000.

Explanation:

First, we must multiply 10 by its power, 4. That would be 10 4 times.

10*10*10*10 = 10,000.

Then, we multiply it by 5.7.

5.7*10,000 = 57,000.

Regards!

Calculate the cost of gasoline for a 320 mile trip from Boston to New
Talja [164]
The cost of gasoline for the trip would cost $57.28 because you first divide 320 by 20 which gives you 16 than after that you do 16 multiplied by 3.58 which gives you $57.28 as your final product
