Correct Answer: Option g: <span>adding salt to water lowers its freezing point
Reason:
Freezing point is a colligative property. When a non-volatile solution is present in solution, it's freezing point decreases. This is referred as depression in freezing point (</span>ΔTf<span>). Extent of lowering in freezing point is dependent on number of particles present in system. Mathematically it is expressed as:
</span>ΔTf = Kf X m
<span>
where, m = molality of solution
Kf = cryoscopic constant.
Hence, a</span><span>dding salt to water lowers the freezing point of solution.</span>
Explanation:
The pressure exerted by vapors or gas on the surface of a liquid is known as vapor pressure.
This means that weaker is the intermolecular forces present in a substance more easily it can form vapors. As a result, it will have high vapor pressure.
As substance B has high vapor pressure which means that it has weak intermolecular forces.
Also, stronger is the intermolecular forces present in a substance more will be its boiling point. Hence, more energy or temperature is required to break the bonds. Hence, substance A has higher boiling point and high heat of vaporization.
When surrounding pressure is less than or equal to its vapor pressure then substance B boils into the gas phase. Hence, substance B will be a gas at 300 mm Hg.
Therefore, we can conclude that characteristics of the two substances will be as follows.
(a) Substance B - has weaker intermoclcular
(b) Substance A - has a higher boiling point
(c) Substance B - is a gas at 300 mm Hg
(d) Substance A - has a higher heat of vaporization
The fridge part can, just not the freezer, I think.
