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.

What is the biological significance of the temperature at which the amylase catalyzed reaction

ipn [44]

Answer:

The biological significance is that it is the normal human body temperature and also the optimum temperature of the enzyme.

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by working on a specific substrate to convert it into a product.
The rate of enzyme activity depends on several factors which include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration among others.
Enzymes work best at a specific pH and temperature known as optimum pH and optimum temperature respectively.
In this case, enzyme amylase works best at a temperature of 37° C which is equivalent to the normal human body temperature.

What is true about energy?

xeze [42]

The correct answer is option A. Energy cannot be created during an ordinary chemical reaction. There is no such thing as an ordinary chemical reaction. Energy cannot be created or destroyed this is according to the law of conservation of energy. It can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Nitric acid is a key industrial chemical, largely used to make fertilizers and explosives. The first step in its synthesis is th

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: When using 645 L /s of O2 in a temperature and pressure of 195°C, 0.88 atm respectively, we will get 0.355Kg /s NO

Explanation:

First we review the equation that represents the oxidation process of the NH3 to NO.

4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) ⟶4 NO(g) +6 H2O(l)

Second we gather the information what we are going to use in our calculations.

O2 Volume Rate = 645 L /s

Pressure = 0.88 atm

Temperature = 195°C + 273 = 468K

NO molecular weight = 30.01 g/mol

Third, in order to calculate the amount of NO moles produced by 645L/ s of O2, we must find out, how many moles (n) are 645L O2 by using the general gas equation PV =n RT

Let´s keep in mind that using this equation our constant R is 0.08205Lxatm/Kxmol

PV =n RT

n= PV / RT

n= [ 0.88atm x 645L/s] / [ (0.08205 Lxatm/Kxmol) x 468K]

n= 14.781 moles /s of O2

Fourth, now by knowing the amount of moles of O2, we can use the equation to calculate how many moles of NO will be produced and then with the molecular weight, we will finally know the total mass per second .

14.781 moles /s of O2 x 4moles NO / 5 moles O2 x 30.01g NO / 1 mol NO x 1Kg NO /1000g NO = 0.355Kg /s NO

What attractive forces must be overcome when CsI is dissolvedin liquid HF?

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The attractive forces must be overcome are :

Ion- ion interaction

Dipole - Dipole

Hydrogen Bonding

Explanation:

For the compound to dissolve the attractive forces existing between atoms of the compound must be reduced

CsI is ionic compound and its molecules are held together by ionic(electrostatic) force . These force must be weakened for its dissolution

Forces in HF :

1 .Hydrogen Bonding : In HF strong intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding exist between the electronegative F and Hydrogen

2. Dipole - dipole : HF is polar . So it is a permanent dipole and has dipole diople interaction
