Answer:

A) An ionic compound dissolved in a polar solvent

Explanation:

Potassium Chloride's chemical formula is KCl. Most ionic compounds are formed between a nonmetal and a metal. In this case, potassium is acting as the metal and chloride is the nonmetal. Water is a polar solvent due to the electronegativity of the oxygen in the molecule creating a partial negative pole, leaving the hydrogen atoms partially positive. Hence, A is your best answer.

If I helped, a brainliest would be greatly appreciated!

How does concentration affect boiling point of a solvent?

nalin [4]

Answer / explanation:

How does concentration affect boiling point of a solvent?

The amount by which the boiling point is raised is directly dependent on the concentration of the solute.

The higher the concentration of a solute, the more it is said to be difficult for the solvent molecules to escape into the gas phase.

However, when a non volatile amount of substance is dissolved in a given solvent, the boiling point of the given solvent increases.

The higher the concentration, the more higher the boiling point of a solvent.

It requires a higher temperature for enough solvent molecules to escape , this the boiling point is raised elevatedly

An aqueous CsCl solution is 8.00 wt% CsCl and has a density of 1.0643 g/mL at 20°C. What is the boiling point of this solution?

umka2103 [35]

Answer: The boiling point of solution is 100.53

Explanation:

We are given:

8.00 wt % of CsCl

This means that 8.00 grams of CsCl is present in 100 grams of solution

Mass of solvent = (100 - 8) g = 92 grams

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

$\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}$

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_b=iK_bm$

Or,

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}=i\times K_b\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Boiling point of pure solution = 100°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 2 (For CsCl)

$K_b$ = molal boiling point elevation constant = 0.51°C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (CsCl) = 8.00 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (CsCl) = 168.4 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = 92 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-100=2\times 0.51^oC/m\times \frac{8.00\times 1000}{168.4g/mol\times 92}\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=100.53^oC$

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 100.53

A ______ in medicine is a form of scientific argumentation in which evidence is used to rule out claims and support the best con

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: Scientific reasoning

Explanation:

A scientific reasoning can be defined as the justification which connects the evidence with that of the claim and it rules out all those claims that are not supported by any evidence. It explains the fact that how evidence can support a claim and scientifically acceptable conclusion can be drawn. An argument is always based on one or more claims which can either be true or evidentially proved.
