Question

Can you please answer number 8 and show all of the steps to the solution 

6. (a) Ethylene glycol (EG), CH₂(OH)CH₂(OH), is a common automobile antifreeze. It is water soluble and fairly nonvolatile (b.pt. 197 °C; molar mass 62.01 g). Calculate the freezing point of a solution containing 651 g of this substance in 2505 g of water, Kf of water is 1.86 °C/m.

(b) Would you keep this substance in your car radiator during the summer?

7. Giving reasons, predict whether the aqueous solutions of the following compounds are acidic, basic, or neutral: (i) HCl, (ii) KBr, (iii) Ethyl alcohol & (iv) NH₄OH.

8. The decomposition of ethane (C₂H₆) to methyl radicals (CH₃·), shown below is a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 5.36 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ at 700 °C.

\[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_6\text{(g)} \rightarrow 2 \, \text{CH}_3\cdot \text{(g)} \]

Calculate the half-life of the reaction in *minutes*.
