A solution is prepared from 4.5701 g of magnesium chloride and 43.238 g of water. The vapor pressure of water above this solution is 0.3624 atm at 348.0 K. The vapor pressure of pure water at this temperature is 0.3804 atm. Find the value of the van't Hoff factor for magnesium chloride in this solution.

i = 2.483

Explanation:

The vapour pressure lowering formula is:

Pₐ = Xₐ×P⁰ₐ (1)

For electrolytes:

Pₐ = nH₂O / (nH₂O + inMgCl₂)×P⁰ₐ

Where:

Pₐ is vapor pressure of solution (0.3624atm), nH₂O are moles of water, nMgCl₂ are moles of MgCl₂, i is Van't Hoff Factor, Xₐ is mole fraction of solvent and P⁰ₐ is pressure of pure solvent (0.3804atm)

4.5701g of MgCl₂ are:

4.5701g ₓ (1mol / 95.211g) = 0.048000 moles

43.238g of water are:

43.238g ₓ (1mol / 18.015g) = 2.400 moles

Replacing in (1):

0.3624atm = 2,4mol / (2.4mol + i*0.048mol)×0.3804atm

0.3624atm / 0.3804atm = 2,4mol / (2.4mol + i*0.048mol)

2.4mol + i*0.048mol = 2.4mol / 0.9527

2.4mol + i*0.048mol = 2.5192mol

i*0.048mol = 2.5192mol - 2.4mol

i = 0.1192mol / 0.048mol

i = 2.483

I hope it helps!

odds are decent that your handwriting right now looks a little bit different than it did five years ago, and will look different again in five more. when i look back through my notebooks from middle school to now, i see a long, slow progression from meticulous and teeny letters to bigger, sloppier ones, plus a few side detours: sometime in high school, for example, i decided those loopy cursive lowercase f’s were just the coolest, adopting them as the lone rep for cursive in my otherwise all-print handwriting.

explanation:

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
