PLEASE HELP ME Calculate the change in boiling point when 0.402 moles of sodium chloride are added to 0.200 kilograms of water. Kf = -1.86°C/m; Kb = 0.512°C/m -2.1°C 2.1°C -7.5°C 7.5°C

The change in the boiling point would be 2.1°C.

Explanation:

1 ) Let us first determine the molarity of this solution :

M = mol / kg,

M = 0.402 mol / 0.200 kg = 2.01 M NaCl

2 ) ΔT = i K m

ΔT = 2 0.512C/m 2.01m

ΔT = 2.06C

As you can see, this is none of the answer choices. However the van't Hoff factor i in this case was taken to be 2, but this value is actually less than the predicted ideal solution. This is due to the ion pairing, causing i to be around 1.7 to 1.8. Therefore our solution is option b, 2.1°C.

they are made of gases.

they have a spherical shape.

they make energy through fusion.
