Answer:
High activation energy is the reason behind unsuccessful reaction.
Explanation:
There are two types of reaction: (1) thermodynamically controlled reaction and (2) kinetically controlled reaction.
Thermodynamically controlled reaction are associated with change in enthalpy during reaction. More negative the enthalpy change, more favored will be the reaction.
Kinetically controlled reaction are associated with activation energy of a reaction. The lower the activation energy value, the more rapid will be the reaction.
Here, reaction between 
and 
is thermodynamically favored due to negative enthalpy change but the high activation energy does not allow the reaction to take place by simple mixing.
Heat moves in Radiation, conduction, and convection.
Answer : The freezing point of the solution is, 260.503 K
Solution : Given,
Mass of methanol (solute) = 215 g
Mass of water (solvent) = 1000 g = 1 kg (1 kg = 1000 g)
Freezing depression constant = 
Formula used :
where,
= freezing point of water = 
= freezing point of solution
= freezing point constant
= mass of solute
= mass of solvent
= molar mass of solute
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get
By rearranging the terms, we get the freezing point of solution.
Therefore, the freezing point of the solution is, 260.503 K
