Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Molar mass is obtained as the sum of relative atomic masses as follow;
For CaBr = 40.08 + 79.90 = 119.98 g/mol
For BeBr = 9.012 + 79.90 = 88.912 g/mol
For CdBr2 = 112.41 + 2(79.90) = 272.21 g/mol
For CuBr2 = 63.55 + 2(79.90) = 223.35 g/mol
The answer is true, catalysts increase rates by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. Catalysts lower the reaction energy and so the reaction occurs faster. Enzymes perform the role of biological catalysts. Most metabolic pathways of the body are controlled by enzymes. Enzymes by classification are proteins. <span />
Answer: CoBr3 < K2SO4 < NH4 Cl
Justification:
1) The depression of the freezing point of a solution is a colligative property, which means that it depends on the number of particles of solute dissolved.
2) The formula for the depression of freezing point is:
ΔTf = i * Kf * m
Where i is the van't Hoof factor which accounts for the dissociation of the solute.
Kf is the freezing molal constant and only depends on the solvent
m is the molality (molal concentration).
3) Since, you are assuming equal concentrations and complete dissociation of the given solutes, the solute with more ions in the molecular formula will result in the solution with higher depression of the freezing point (lower freezing point).
4) These are the dissociations of the given solutes:
a) NH4 Cl (s) --> NH4(+)(aq) + Cl(-) (aq) => 1 mol --> 2 moles
b) Co Br3 (s) --> Co(3+) (aq) + 3Br(-)(aq) => 1 mol --> 4 moles
c) K2SO4 (s) --> 2K(+) (aq) + SO4 (2-) (aq) => 1 mol --> 3 moles
5) So, the rank of solutions by their freezing points is:
CoBr3 < K2SO4 < NH4 Cl
