Quantity of K2S m = 0.105 m
Number of ions i = 2(K) + 1(S) = 3
Freezing point depression constant of water Kf = 1.86
delta T = i x m x Kf = 3 x 0.105 x 1.86 = 0.586
Freezing point = 0 - 0.586 = 0.586 C
Boiling point constant of water Kb = 0.512
delta T = i x m x Kb = 3 x 0.105 x 0.512 = 0.161
Boiling point = 100 + 0.161 = 100.161 C
As the earth is in the form of a sphere, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays at the earth's surface increases from the equator towards the poles and therefore the amount of heat received on a GIVEN AREA diminishes in the same direction. Temperature is therefore normally hottest near the equator and coolest near the poles.
