### Educational Chemistry Problems

#### 6. Ethylene Glycol and Freezing Point Depression
(a) Ethylene glycol (EG), CH₂(OH)CH₂(OH), is commonly used as automobile antifreeze. It is water soluble and relatively nonvolatile (boiling point: 197 °C; molar mass: 62.01 g/mol). Calculate the freezing point of a solution containing 651 g of this substance in 2505 g of water. The cryoscopic constant \( K_f \) of water is 1.86 °C/m.

(b) Would you consider using this substance in your car radiator during the summer? Provide reasoning for your answer.

#### 7. Acidity of Aqueous Solutions
Predict whether the aqueous solutions of the following compounds are acidic, basic, or neutral, providing reasons for your predictions:
(i) HCl  
(ii) KBr  
(iii) Ethyl alcohol  
(iv) NH₄OH  

#### 8. Decomposition of Ethane to Methyl Radicals
The decomposition of ethane (C₂H₆) to methyl radicals (CH₃•) is described by the first-order reaction with a rate constant of 5.36 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ at 700 °C.

\( \text{C}_2\text{H}_6 \, (g) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{CH}_3^• \, (g) \)

Calculate the half-life of the reaction in minutes.
