The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/cm^3 at 20 degrees C. What volume of ethanol has a mass of 15.5 grams?
lys-0071 [83]
<span>density = mass / volume
   
given the quotient , we have density and mass, volume can be easily calculated as:
   
volume = mass / p =15.5 g / 0.789 g/cm^3
   
=~ 20 cm^3 (dimension ally constant)</span>

Calculate the molality and van’t Hoff factor (i) for the following aqueous solutions:
MissTica

The 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.

<h3>What is the value of Van t Hoff factor?</h3>

For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the Van 't Hoff factor is essentially $ 1 $ . For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the Van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance.

<h3>Which has highest Van t Hoff factor?</h3>

The Van't Hoff factor will be highest for

   A. Sodium chloride.

   B. Magnesium chloride.

   C. Sodium phosphate.

   D. Urea.
