Raising of the boiling point is a colligative property. That means that it depends on the number of particles dissolved. The greater the number of particles the greater the increase in the boiling point. So, you can compare the effect of these solutes in the increase of the boiling point by writing the chemical equations and comparing the number of particles dissolved: 1)ionic lithium chloride, LiCl(s) --> Li(+) + Cl (-) => 2 ions; 2) ionic sodium chloride, NaCl(s) --> Na(+) + Cl(-) => 2 ions; 3) molecular sucrose, C12H22O11 (s) ---> C12H22O11(aq) => 1 molecule; 4) ionic phosphate, Na3PO4 --> 3Na(+) + PO4 (3-) => 4 ions; 5) ionic magnesium bromide, MgBr2 --> Mg(2+) + 2 Br(-) => 3 ions. <span>So, ionic phosphate produces the greatest number of particles and it will cause the greatest increase of the boiling point.</span><span />

ithium metal reacts with water to give lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. if 75.5 mL of hydrogen gas is produce at STP, what is

Galina-37 [17]

The reaction equation may be written as:
2Li + 2H₂O → 2LiOH + H₂

A single mole of gas occupies 22,400 ml of gas at STP. Therefore, the moles of hydrogen gas are
75.5 / 22,400 = 0.0034 mol
According to the equation, the moles of lithium are twice that of hydrogen gas; thus,
0.0034 x 2 = 0.0068 mol

The mass of lithium is given by:
mass = moles x atomic mass
mass = 0.0068 x 6.9
mass = 0.047 grams
