First, we apply the law of conservation of mass which states that the total mass in a system remains constant.
Therefore, there must be 5.00 g of sulfur and 4.99 g of oxygen in the product. Now, we determine the mass percentage using:
Mass % = (mass of sulfur x 100) / total mass of compound
Mass % = (5 * 100) / (5 + 4.99)
Mass % = 50.05%
The product contains 50.05% sulfur by mass.
Answer: a. 0.75m (NH4)3PO4 will have the lowest freezing point .
Explanation: Freezing point decreases as the concentration of the solute substance increases. Assuming the same solvent for all of them, for instance water.
∆T= i.Kf.b
∆T= freezing point depression
i= vant Hoff factor
Kf= molality
Assuming water to be the solvent for all Kf=1.86°C/M
VANT HOFF FACTORS :
For (NH4)3PO4
This has 3 ionic bonding and 1 covalent bonding making it 4 bond
Therefore i=4
For CaSO4
This has 1 metallic bond and 1 covalent bond making it 2 bond.
Therefore i=2
For LiCl
This has 1 metallic bond and 1 non metallic bond making it 2 bond.
Therefore i=2
For CH3OH
This has only 1 covalent bond.
Therefore i=1
MOLALITY:
(NH4)3PO4 = 0.75M
CaSO4= 1.0M
LiCl= 1.0M
CH3OH= 1.5M
FREEZING POINT DEPRESSION:
For (NH4)3PO4
∆T= 4×0.75×1.86=5.58°C
For CaSO4
∆T= 2×1.0×1.86=3.72°C
For LiCl
∆T = 2×1.0×1.86= 3.72°C
For CH3OH
∆T= 1×1.5×1.86=2.79°C
REMEMBER THE HIGHER THE FREEZING POINT DEPRESSION THE LOWER THE FREEZING POINT.
FREEZING POINT DEPRESSION IS THE CHANGE IN THE FREEZING POINT PROPORTIONAL TO THE AMOUNT OF SOLUTE ADDED THE THE SOLUTION.
THEREFORE THE ONE WITH THE LOWEST FREEZING POINT IS (NH4)3PO4
<span>Metals have low ionization energy and nonmetals have high electronegativity, so electrons transfer easily from the metal atom to the nonmetal atom.</span>
