As the number of solute particles in a solution increases, the effect on the freezing point of the solution increases. which ionic compound will lower the freezing point the most if 1 mol of it is added to 1 l of water?
nacl
mgcl2
kbr
alcl3

AlCl₃.

Explanation:

Adding solute to water causes depression of the boiling point.

The depression in freezing point (ΔTf) can be calculated using the relation:

ΔTf = i.Kf.m,

where, ΔTf is the depression in freezing point.

i is the van 't Hoff factor.

van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.

Kf is the molal depression constant of water.

m is the molality of the solution (m = 1.0 m, for all solutions).

(1) NaCl:

i for NaCl = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 2/1 = 2.

∴ ΔTb for (NaCl) = i.Kb.m = (2)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 2(Kf).

(2) MgCl₂:

i for MgCl₂ = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 3/1 = 3.

∴ ΔTb for (MgCl₂) = i.Kb.m = (3)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 3(Kf).

(3) NaCl:

i for KBr = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 2/1 = 2.

∴ ΔTb for (KBr) = i.Kb.m = (2)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 2(Kf).

(4) AlCl₃:

i for AlCl₃ = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 4/1 = 4.

∴ ΔTb for (CoCl₃) = i.Kb.m = (4)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 4(Kf).

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
