A solution (in this experiment solution of NaNO₃) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water). The higher the
solute concentration (sodium nitrate), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.
Equation describing the change in freezing point:
ΔT = Kf · b · i.
ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.
Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.
b - molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).
i - Van’t Hoff Factor.
First measure freezing point of pure solvent (deionized water). Than make solutions of NaNO₃ with different molality and measure separately their freezing points. Use equation to calculate Kf.
Answer:
A and D are true , while B and F statements are false.
Explanation:
A) True. Since the standard gibbs free energy is
ΔG = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q
where Q= [P1]ᵃ.../([R1]ᵇ...) , representing the ratio of the product of concentration of chemical reaction products P and the product of concentration of chemical reaction reactants R
when the system reaches equilibrium ΔG=0 and Q=Keq
0 = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q → ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)
therefore the first equation also can be expressed as
ΔG = RT*ln (Q/Keq)
thus the standard gibbs free energy can be determined using Keq
B) False. ΔG⁰ represents the change of free energy under standard conditions . Nevertheless , it will give us a clue about the ΔG around the standard conditions .For example if ΔG⁰>>0 then is likely that ΔG>0 ( from the first equation) if the temperature or concentration changes are not very distant from the standard conditions
C) False. From the equation presented
ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)
ΔG⁰>0 if Keq<1 and ΔG⁰<0 if Keq>1
for example, for a reversible reaction ΔG⁰ will be <0 for forward or reverse reaction and the ΔG⁰ will be >0 for the other one ( reverse or forward reaction)
D) True. Standard conditions refer to
T= 298 K
pH= 7
P= 1 atm
C= 1 M for all reactants
Water = 55.6 M
An occluded front forms when a warm air mass is caught between two cooler air masses. The warm air mass is cut ofl or occluded' from the ground. The occluded warm front may cause clouds and precipitation. A swirling center of low air pressure is called a cyclone.
it means two oxygen atoms
