Answer:
They are both polymers that are found in living cells.
When dT = Kf * molality * i
= Kf*m*i
and when molality = (no of moles of solute) / Kg of solvent
= 2.5g /250g x 1 mol /85 g x1000g/kg
=0.1176 molal
and Kf for water = - 1.86 and dT = -0.255
by substitution
0.255 = 1.86* 0.1176 * i
∴ i = 1.166
when the degree of dissociation formula is: when n=2 and i = 1.166
a= i-1/n-1 = (1.166-1)/(2-1) = 0.359 by substitution by a and c(molality) in K formula
∴K = Ca^2/(1-a)
= (0.1176 * 0.359)^2 / (1-0.359)
= 2.8x10^-3
Dimensional analysis is a convenient technique to determine if the solution you're following would lead you to the answer that you're looking for. It is the manipulation of units. Like units are cancelled whenever they appear on the numerator and the denominator side. For example, if the speed is 5 m/s and the time is 2 s, the distance would be:
(m/s)*(s) = m
So, you would know that the solution would be 5*2 because it yields the unit for distance.
Hence, dimensional analysis could prevent crash by calculating the right velocities or distances of the two vessels to prevent collision.
