37) We expect the boiling point to be higher for salt solutions with highly ionic character than a solution of sugar (here: sucrose), even if its concentration is a bit higher. Amongst the ionic salt solutions (choices a to d), we expect the boiling point to be higher for the ionic salt solution of a divalent positive (2+) ion, which is Mg2+ here (all their concentrations ...
Solution Summary
37. We expect the boiling point to be higher for salt solutions with highly ionic character than a solution of sugar (here: sucrose), even if its concentration is a bit higher. 38. The resulting concentration of the Na+ is going to come from the number of moles of Na+ from both solutions calculated for the total volume of the two solutions. 39. A species cannot function as oxidizing agent if its oxidation number is the lowest possible for the given atom/ion.
