B, the Internet.
If Caitlin told Teddy that the largest diamond was found YESTERDAY then it wouldn't be in last month's science magazine. It also wouldn't be able to be in an encyclopedia at the library because there wouldn't have been any time to write, publish, and for the library to get the encyclopedia in one day. Caitlin's parents may not know about Caitlin's claim or about the diamond in the first place. The Internet would likely have an article about the news-breaking diamond as soon as possible.
Answer:
108.43 grams KNO₃
Explanation:
To solve this problem we use the formula:
Where
- ΔT is the temperature difference (14.5 K)
- Kf is the cryoscopic constant (1.86 K·m⁻¹)
- b is the molality of the solution (moles KNO₃ per kg of water)
- and<em> i</em> is the van't Hoff factor (2 for KNO₃)
We <u>solve for b</u>:
- 14.5 K = 1.86 K·m⁻¹ * b * 2
Using the given volume of water and its density (aprx. 1 g/mL) we <u>calculate the necessary moles of KNO₃</u>:
- 275 mL water ≅ 275 g water
- moles KNO₃ = molality * kg water = 3.90 * 0.275
- moles KNO₃ = 1.0725 moles KNO₃
Finally we <u>convert KNO₃ moles to grams</u>, using its molecular weight:
- 1.0725 moles KNO₃ * 101.103 g/mol = 108.43 grams KNO₃
