The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When 177. g of alanine (C_3H_7NO_2) are dissolved in 800.0 g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is 5.9^oC lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 177.0 g of potassium bromide are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is 7.2^oC lower than the freezing point of pure X. Calculate the van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X.

<u>Answer:</u> The van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X is 1.63

<u>Explanation:</u>

Depression in the freezing point is defined as the difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent and the freezing point of the solution.

The expression for the calculation of depression in freezing point is:

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m

OR

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times w_{solvent}\text{(in g)}} ......(1)

  • <u>When alanine is dissolved in mystery liquid X:</u>

\Delta T_f=5.9^oC

i = Vant Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

K_f = freezing point depression constant

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (alanine) = 177. g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (alanine) = 89 g/mol

w_{solvent} = Mass of solvent = 800.0 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

5.9=1\times K_f\times \frac{177\times 1000}{89\times 800}\\\\K_f=\frac{5.9\times 89\times 800}{1\times 177\times 1000}\\\\K_f=2.37^oC/m

  • <u>When KBr is dissolved in mystery liquid X:</u>

\Delta T_f=7.2^oC

i = Vant Hoff factor = ?

K_f = freezing point depression constant = 2.37^oC/m

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (KBr) = 177. g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (KBr) = 119 g/mol

w_{solvent} = Mass of solvent = 800.0 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

7.2=i\times 2.37\times \frac{177\times 1000}{119\times 800}\\\\i=\frac{7.2\times 119\times 800}{2.37\times 177\times 1000}\\\\i=1.63

Hence, the van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X is 1.63

Mila [183]

Renewable energy has the potential to have all the same applications as non-renewable. But we currently don't have the resources and potential.

So I would say the answer would be B, but this question is somewhat confusing.

2. A magnifying glass is an example of a _______ lens.
NISA [10]
<span>The answer to question 2 is C. A magnifying glass is an example of a plano-convex lens, where one side of the lens is flat and the other is a convex curve. The answer to question 3 is either B or C. A converging lens is curved on both sides and so the rays of light coming out of it converge at a point, which is known as the focal point. When the object is inside the focal point, the image is real and inverted. If it is inside the focal point, the image is virtual and upright. Therefore the image in this question will be upright. The focal length is the distance between the image that is being magnified and the centre of the magnifying lens. A real image can only be formed when the object is further away from the lens than the focal length. Therefore, in this question, the image is virtual, as the object is closer to the lens than the focal length. The answer to question 4 is D because the index of refraction cannot be less than 1. The answer to question 5 is D because only concave mirrors can produce real images; other types produce virtual images. For question 6, the answer is D. In the rainbow, each of the colours refracts at a slightly different angle; red has the smallest refractive index and violet the largest. Of the options, orange is closest to red. For question 12, A is the answer. A higher operating temperature is not a reason fluorescent lamps are better than incandescent lamps because they have a lower operating temperature. Question 15: all of these are characteristics of different electromagetic waves. For question 18, B is true - special care must be taken when low illuminance is required to reduce glare. The answer to question 19 is B - a compound microscope makes use of two lenses. For question 20, the answer is 5 meters away. The illuminance (E) is equal to light intensity (I) divided by the square distance from the light source (d). Therefore, 4 = 100/d squared. To switch this around, d squared is equal to 100/4 = 25. Then find the square root of 25, which is 5.</span>
