Answer:

1.35 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the <em>freezing point depression formula</em>:

  • ΔT = Kf * m * i

Where:

  • ΔT is the temperature difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent (water) and the solution. In this case it is (<em>0 °C - -2.5 °C = 2.5 °C</em>).
  • Kf is the cryoscopic constant, <em>for water it is 1.853  °C*kg/mol.</em>
  • m is the molality.
  • i is the van't Hoff factor, <em>as sugar does not dissociate in water, it has a value of 1</em>.

We <u>input the data</u>:

  • 2.5 °C = 1.853 °C*kg/mol * m * 1

And <u>solve for m</u>:

  • m = 1.35 m

If the freezing point of an aqueous 0.10 m glucose solution is −x°c, what is the approximate freezing point of a 0.10 m nacl sol
maks197457 [2]
Answer is: the approximate freezing point of a 0.10 m NaCl solution is -2x°C.
V<span>an't Hoff factor (i) for NaCl solution is approximately 2.
</span>Van't Hoff factor (i) for glucose solution is 1.<span>
Change in freezing point from pure solvent to solution: ΔT = i · Kf · m.
Kf - molal freezing-point depression constant for water is 1,86°C/m.
m -  molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
</span>Kf and molality for this two solutions are the same, but Van't Hoff factor for sodium chloride is twice bigger, so freezing point is twice bigger.

An atom in a pure metal that's face-centered cubic has ___ neighbor atoms.
Lana71 [14]

Answer is: an atom in a pure metal that's face-centered cubic has 12 neighbor atoms.

Fce-centered cubic has eight atoms at each corner of the cube and six atoms at each face of the cube.

Metals that possess face-centered cubic structure are copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag) and gold (Au).

There is three types of cubic cell:

1) simple cubic unit cell.

2) body-centered cubic unit cell.

3) face-centered cubic-unit cell.
