Acetic acid has a boiling point of 118.5 C and a boiling point constant of 3.08. What is the boiling point of a 3.20 m solution of Ca(NO3)2 in acetic acid?

T = 401.356 K (128.356°C)

Explanation:

boiling point:

∴T: boiling temperature of the solution

∴ T*: boiling temperature of pure solvent = 118.5°C ≅ 391.5 K

∴ K: boiling point constant = 3.08 K.Kg/mol

∴ m: molality [=] mol/Kg = 3.20 m

∴  solvent: acetic acid

∴  solute: Ca(NO3)2

⇒ T = T* + (K)(m)

⇒ T = 391.5 K + ((3.08 K.Kg/mol)(3.20 mol/Kg))

⇒ T = 391.5 K + 9.856 K

⇒ T = 401.356 K

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
