An aqueous solution of potassium sulfate exhibits colligative properties. Colligative properties are properties that depends on the concentration of a substance in a solution. These properties are freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, osmotic pressure and boiling point elevation. For this problem we use the concept of freezing point depression since we are given the freezing point of the solution. Freezing point depression is as:
ΔT = -k(f) x m x i
-2.24 - 0 = -1.86 x m x 3
<span>m = 0.4014
Thus, the molality of the solution is 0.4014.</span>
Answer: An Element
Explanation:
An element is a substance that cannot be split into smaller substance. It is made up of one kind of atom and can exist either as molecules (e.g nitogen) or an atom (e.g argon).
Answer:
Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation
We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons
since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons
If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed
Answer:
wax, candlewick, and oxygen
Explanation:
The burning of the candle is both a physical as well as a chemical change. The reactants are the substances or the raw materials that are required for a reaction to the process. In the process of burning a candle, the reactants are the fuel which includes wax and wick, and oxygen which is found in the air. The products found at the end of the reaction are carbon dioxide and water vapor.
