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]

<u>Answer:</u> The boiling point of solution is 100.53

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

How does newton’s third law effect bowling?

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The bowling ball will remain in motion until an unbalanced force acts on the bowling ball. ... When the ball hits the pins, they push on the ball with the same amount of force in the opposite direction. This means that the ball will slow down, and the pins will fall, which is the reaction.
