Answer:
Before we get into the first law of thermodynamics we need to understand the relation between heat and work and the concept of internal energy. Just like mass, energy is always conserved i.e. it can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another. Internal energy is a thermodynamic property of the system that refers to the energy associated with the molecules of the system which includes kinetic energy and potential energy.
Whenever a system goes through any change due to interaction of heat, work and internal energy, it is followed by numerous energy transfer and conversions. However, during these transfers, there is no net change in the total energy.
Similarly, if we look at the first law of thermodynamics it affirms that heat is a form of energy. What it means is that the thermodynamic processes are governed by the principle of conservation of energy. The first law of thermodynamics is also sometimes referred to as the Law of Conservation of Energy
Explanation:
All those compounds are ionic.
Then they dissociate into ions when they are in water.
I will write the dissociation equations. The charges of the ions is indicated inside parenthesis.
KI -> K (+) + I (-) => two ions
K2SO4 -> 2 k(+) + SO4 (2-) -> three ions
NaCl -> Na(+) + Cl(-) => two ions
KBr -> K(+) + Br(-)
As you se every molecule of the compound K2SO4 dissociates into three ions, while the other compounds dissociate into two ions. Given that the decrase in the freezong point of water is proportional to the number of particles dissolved, the K2SO4 will lower the freezing point the most.
Answer: option B. K2SO4
Answer:
10/9
Explanation:
First, let's convert 1/3 and 7/9 so that the have the same denominator. To do this let's find the least common multiple of 3 and 9.
List the multiples of 3 and 9:
3: 3, 9
9: 9
They have a least common multiple of 9
We need to convert 1/3 so it has a denominator of 9:
1/3*3/3 (we can multiply it by 3/3 because any number over itself is 1) = 3/9
s-3/9=7/9
Add 3/9 to both sides to isolate s
s=10/9
