Question

ist the following aqueous solutions in order of increasing melting point. (The lastthree are all assumed to dissociate completely into ions in water.)(a) 0.1 m sugar(b) 0.1 m NaCl(c) 0.08 m CaCl2(d) 0.04 m Na2SO4

Answer 1

Exlanation

Melting point is an intensive property — Intensive properties are properties which do not depend on the amount of matter that is present.

Therefore, the given solutions are NOT in order of increasing melting point.

The order of inereasing melting point ofthe slolutions is:

(a) 0.1 m sugar (sugar has a metlting point of 186 °C

(c) 0.08 m CaCl2

(b) 0.1 m NaCl

(d) 0.04 m Na2SO4​
