Which of the following aqueous solutions will have the lowest vapor pressure at 25 degrees Celsius?a. 1.0 M CH4
b. 1.0 M NaCl
c. 1.0 M AlCl3
d. 1.0 M BaCl2

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The choices experiences colligative properties. These set of properties depend on the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. These properties include freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure and vapor pressure lowering. From the choices, the correct answer is A.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 1.0 M AlCl_3

Explanation :

According to the relative lowering of vapor pressure, the vapor pressure of a component at a given temperature is equal to the mole fraction of that component of the solution multiplied by the vapor pressure of that component in the pure state.

1.0 M means that the 1.0 moles of solute present in 1 liter of solution.

Formula used :

(\Delta p)/(p^o)=i* X_B

where,

p^o = vapor pressure of the pure component (water)

p_s = vapor pressure of the solution  

X_B = mole fraction of solute

i = Van't Hoff factor

As we know that the vapor pressure depends on the mole fraction of solute and the Van't Hoff factor.

So, the greater the number of particles of solute dissolved the lower the resultant vapor pressure.

(a) The dissociation of 1.0 M CH_4 is not possible because it is a non-electrolyte solute. So, the Van't Hoff factor will be, 1.

(b) The dissociation of 1.0 M NaCl will be,

NaCl\rightarrow Na^++Cl^-

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = Na^++Cl^- = 1 + 1 = 2

(c) The dissociation of 1.0 M AlCl_3 will be,

AlCl_3\rightarrow Al^(3+)+3Cl^(-)

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = Al^(3+)+3Cl^(-) = 1 + 3 = 4

(c) The dissociation of 1.0 M BaCl_2 will be,

BaCl_2\rightarrow Ba^(2+)+2Cl^(-)

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = Ba^(2+)+2Cl^(-) = 1 + 2 = 3

From this we conclude that, 1.0 M AlCl_3 has the highest Van't Hoff factor which means that the solution will exhibit the lowest vapor pressure.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) 1.0 M AlCl_3

Which particle diagram represents a sample of matter that can not be broken down by chemical means?

Answers

Answer;

Considering the attached image;

The correct answer is D.

Explanation;

-An element is a substance that can not be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means. Example, iron, gold, hydrogen , carbon, oxygen , etc.

-Elements are made of atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. Atoms of different elements are different. Atoms of one element are basically alike.

In the picture below that I attached, the answer is D. 

In the diagram, there are only one type of element depicted. 

Feelings of sadness __________.a. are only felt by those with depression
b. are one of the major symptoms of depression
c. usually also lead to panic attacks
d. should be ignored even when they last a long period of time

Answers

Feelings of sadness:

A) Sadness can occur within anybody, not just a symptom of depression. This option is out of the question, since it is wrong.

B) Feelings of sadness are usually linked to depression when felt over a long period of time. Studies say that sadness is only a little part of depression, while you mostly feel rejected, hopeless, and worthless. Looking at the other options, this would be the most reasonable answer.

C) This CAN be true in some ways, but panic attacks can be triggered by so many things. The #1 reason is usually when you're nervous or anxious. Panic attacks can even happen out of the blue. Sadness can lead to panic attacks, but not usually. I would say no for this option.

D) Sadness should NOT be ignored when they last over a long period of time. If you are sad for a certain time period, you should look into talking to somebody about the issue. This option is obviously false.

Out of the choices, two out of four were reasonable, but I would have to go with B) are one of the major symptoms of depression. 
B) are one of the major symptoms of depression
