Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. ... This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

You need to remember that the oxidation number of H is +1, except when it is in a metal hydrites like NaH, where its oxidation number is -1. Then, the oxidation number of O is -2, but in peroxides is -1. So with these rules you just have to multiply the ox. number with the name of atoms and all the elements in the reaction must sum 0.

When 61.6 g of alanine (C3H7NO2) are dissolved in 1150. g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is 2

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

TO start with the molarity of the solution:

$= \dfrac{61.6 \ g \times \dfrac{1 \ mol \ C_3H_7 NO_3}{89.1 \ g} }{1150 \ g \times \dfrac{1 \ kg}{1000 \g }}$

= 0.601 mol/kg

= 0.601 m

At the freezing point, the depression of the solution is $\Delta \ T_f = T_{solvent}- T_{solution}$

$\Delta \ T_f = 2.9 ^0 \ C$

Using the depression in freezing point, the molar depression constant of the solvent $K_f = \dfrac{\Delta T_f}{m}$

$K_f = \dfrac{2.9 ^0 \ C}{0.601 \ m}$

$K_f = 4.82 ^0 C / m}$

The freezing point of the solution $\Delta T_f = T_{solvent} - T_{solution}$

$\Delta T_f = 7.3^ 0 \ C$

The molality of the solution is:

$= \dfrac{61.6 \ g \times \dfrac{1 \ mol \ NH_4Cl}{53.5 \ g} }{1150 \ g \times \dfrac{1 \ kg}{1000 \g }}$

Molar depression constant of solvent X, $K_f = 4.82 ^0 \ C/m$

Hence, using the elevation in boiling point;

the Vant'Hoff factor $i = \dfrac{\Delta T_f}{k_f \times m}$

$i = \dfrac{7.3 \ ^0 \ C}{4.82 ^0 \ C/m \times 1.00 \ m}$

$\mathbf {i = 1.51 }$
