Answer:

2) 2 mol of KI in 500. g of water.

Explanation:

Adding solute to water causes depression of the boiling point.

The depression in freezing point (ΔTf) can be calculated using the relation:

ΔTf = i.Kf.m,

where, ΔTf is the depression in freezing point.

i is the van 't Hoff factor.

van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1. (i for KCl = 2/1 = 2).

Kf is the molal depression constant of water (Kf = 1.86°C/m).

m is the molality of the solution.

All parameters (i, and Kf) are constant, m is the variable.

ΔTf ∝ m.

molality (m) of a solution is the no. of moles of dissolved solute in a 1.0 kg of the solvent.

We need to calculate the molality of each solution:

1) 1 mol of KI in 500. g of water :

m of this solution = (no. of moles)/(mass of the solution(kg) = (1.0 mol)/(0.5 kg) = 2 m.

∴ ΔTf = i.Kf.m = (2)(1.86°C/m)(2 m) = 7.44°C.

∴ Freezing point of the solution = 0.0°C - 7.44°C = - 7.44°C.

2) 2 mol of KI in 500. g of water :

m of this solution = (no. of moles)/(mass of the solution(kg) = (2.0 mol)/(0.5 kg) = 4 m.

∴ ΔTf = i.Kf.m = (2)(1.86°C/m)(4 m) = 14.88°C.

∴ Freezing point of the solution = 0.0°C - 14.88°C = - 14.88°C.

3) 1 mol of KI in 1000. g of water :

m of this solution = (no. of moles)/(mass of the solution(kg) = (1.0 mol)/(1.0 kg) = 1 m.

∴ ΔTf = i.Kf.m = (2)(1.86°C/m)(1 m) = 3.72°C.

∴ Freezing point of the solution = 0.0°C - 3.72°C = - 3.72°C.

4) 2 mol of KI in 1000. g of water:

m of this solution = (no. of moles)/(mass of the solution(kg) = (2.0 mol)/(1.0 kg) = 2 m.

∴ ΔTf = i.Kf.m = (2)(1.86°C/m)(2 m) = 7.44°C.

∴ Freezing point of the solution = 0.0°C - 7.44°C = - 7.44°C.

So, the aqueous solution of KI freezes at the lowest temperature is:

2) 2 mol of KI in 500. g of water.

Answer:

$1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L$ is the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{N_2}=K_H\times p_{liquid}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm$

$p_{N_2}$ = partial pressure of nitrogen

$p_{N_2}= P\times \chi_{N_2}$ (Raoult's law)

$=2.71 atm\times 0.78=2.1138 atm$

$C_{N_2}=6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 2.1138 atm$

$C_{N_2}=1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L$

$1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L$ is the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

During photosynthesis SOLAR enerrgy is transformed into CHEMICAL energy.

Explanation:

In nutrition, green plants manufactures their own food which they use for both energy and growth. This is called an autotrophic mode of nutrition.

Therefore, photosynthesis is an autotrophic nutrition in which plant can build sugar by taking carbon dioxide from air and water from the soil. For the synthesis of sugar like glucose, carbon dioxide provides carbon

and oxygen whereas water molecules provide hydrogen. The plant builds sugar molecules from these simple compounds. Enzymes needed for this purpose are present in the cells and energy is trapped by chlorophyll from sunlight. This process is summarised in the equation below:

Sunlight (solar)

6CO2 + 6H2O--------------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

From the equation, Carbon dioxide, water and sunlight (SOLAR energy) is the raw materials needed to produce Glucose and oxygen (CHEMICAL energy) as by products.
