Latent heat of melting is the energy that a solid absorbs to change its phase as its liquid. During this process, since all energy is used to change the phase, the temperature is constant.
Here the latent energy of melting for 1 g of ice is 80 calories and that 1 g of ice only absorbed 60 calories. hence the phase is not changed because it requires more 20 calories to melt.
Hence 1 g of ice remains as its solid phase (ice).
The increase in the boiling point of a solvent is a colligative property.
That means that the increase in the boling point will be related to the number of particles (molecules or ions) present in the solution.
The higher the number of particles (molecules or ions) the higher the increase in the boiling point.
All the aqueous solutions presented are electrolytes, i.e. the solutes are ionic compounds.
Then, you have to compare the number of ions that you have in each solution.
A) 1.0 M KCl ---> 1.0 M K+ + 1.0 MCl- = 2 moles of particles / liter
B) 1.0 M CaCl2 --> 1.0M Ca(2+) + 1.0M * 2 Cl (-) = 3 moles of particle / liter
C) 2.0M KCl ---> 2.0 M K+ + 2.0 M Cl- = 4 moles of particle / liter
D) 2.0 M CaCl2 ----> 2.0 M Ca (2+) + 2.0M * 2 Cl (-) = 6 moles of particle / liter.
Then, the solution 2.0M CaCl2(aq) has the highest increase in the boiling point.
Answer: option D) 2.0 M Ca Cl2(aq)
