In countries nearer to polar region, the roads are sprinkled with CaCl2 .This is :
to minimise the wear and tear of the roads
to minimise the snow fall
to minimise pollution
to minimise the accumulation of dust on the road
The solubility of a gas in water at 300 K under a pressure of 100 atm is 4 x 10-3 kg L-1. Therefore, the mass of the gas in kg dissolved 250 mL of water under a pressure of 250 atm at 300 K is :
2.5 x 10-3
2.0 x 10-3
1.25 x 10-3
5.0 x 10-3
The depression in freezing point of 0.1 M aqueous solutions of HCl, CuSO4 and K2SO4 are in the ratio
1 : 1 : 1.5
1 : 2 : 3
1 : 1 : 1
2 : 4 : 3
A.
1 : 1 : 1.5
The depression in freezing point is calculated by the expression:
Tf = iKfm
(where, T = depression in freezing point; i = vant hoff factor; K = constant; M = molarity of the solution)
Thus, Tf i (as concentration is same for all solutions)
Let us consider that all compounds dissociate 100% (as i depends on the no. of total no. of ions that the molecules will produce on being dissociated ).
HCl will give 2 ions H+ and Cl-. Hence, its vant hoff factor is 2.
CuSO4 will give 2 ions Cu2+ and SO. Hence, its vant hoff factor is 2.
K2SO4 will give 3 ions, two K+ ions and one SO. Hence, its vant hoff factor is 3.
Therefore, the ratio of depression of freezing point will be the ratio of their vant hoff factor because the molarity is same for all three solution. The ratio will be 2 : 2 : 3. Further divided, the ratio will be 1 : 1 : 1.5
