Electrostatic repulsion is the force between two charges having the same sign, that tends to separate them further. The force is proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Answer:
D. A Molecule
Explanation:
<em>The smallest particle of a compound that still has the properties of the compound is a molecule. It is composed of two or more bonded atoms.</em>
Answer:
low melting point
Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. This is because a considerable amount of energy is required to break the strong inter-ionic attraction
Explanation:
Answer:
The mass percentage of calcium nitrate is 31.23%.
Explanation:
Let the the mass of calcium nitrate be x and mass of potassium chloride be y.
Total mass of mixture = 19.12 g
x + y = 19.12 g..(1)
Mass of solvent = 149 g = 0.149 kg
Freezing point of the solution,
= -5.77 °C
Molal freezing constant of water = 1.86 °C/m =1.86 °C/(mol/kg)
The van't Hoff factor contribution by calcium nitrate is 3 and by potassium chloride is 2.So:
i = 3
i' = 2
Freezing point of water = T = 0°C




On solving we get:
....(2)
Solving equation (1)(2) for x and y:
x =5.973 g
y = 13.147 g
Mass percent of
in the mixture:

The mass percentage of calcium nitrate is 31.23%.
