Which substance will most affect the freezing point of water if one mole of the substance is added to one kilogram of water?


PbS

C8H18

Na3PO4

NaCl

Respuesta :

NaCl.because salt increases the boiling point of water

Answer: [tex]Na_3PO_4[/tex]

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

[tex]\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T_f[/tex] = Depression in freezing point

i= vant hoff factor

[tex]K_f[/tex] = freezing point constant

m= molality =[tex]\frac{moles}{\text {weight of solvent in kg}}=\frac{1}{1}=1m[/tex]

1. For [tex]PbS[/tex]

, i= 1 as it is a non electrolyte and does not dissociate.

2. For [tex]C_8H_{18}[/tex]

, i= 1 as it is a non electrolyte and does not dissociate.

3. For [tex]Na_3PO_4[/tex]

, i= 4 as it is a electrolyte and dissociate to give 4 ions.

[tex]Na_3PO_4\rightarrow 3Na^{+}PO_4^{3-}[/tex]  

4. For [tex]NaCl[/tex]

, i= 2 as it is a electrolyte and dissociate to give 2 ions.

[tex]NaCl\rightarrow Na^{+}+Cl^{-}[/tex]  

Thus as vant hoff factor is highest for [tex]Na_3PO_4[/tex] and the freezing point will be most affected.
