What is the answer.
### Pretest: Unit 1

#### Question 19 of 30

**Question:**
What is the predicted change in the boiling point of water when 4.00 g of barium chloride (BaCl₂) is dissolved in 2.00 kg of water?

**Given Data:**
- \( K_b \) of water = 0.51°C/mol
- Molar mass of BaCl₂ = 208.23 g/mol
- \( i \) value of BaCl₂ = 3

**Options:**
- A. -1.0°C
- B. 0.0016°C
- C. 0.015°C
- D. -0.0049°C

**Explanation:**
To calculate the boiling point elevation, we use the formula:

\[ \Delta T_b = i \times K_b \times m \]

where:
- \( \Delta T_b \) is the change in boiling point,
- \( i \) is the van't Hoff factor,
- \( K_b \) is the ebullioscopic constant,
- \( m \) is the molality of the solution.

The molality \( m \) is calculated as follows:
\[ m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{kg of solvent}} \]

First, we need to find the moles of BaCl₂:
\[ \text{Moles of BaCl₂} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{4.00 \, \text{g}}{208.23 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.0192 \, \text{mol} \]

Next, we calculate the molality:
\[ m = \frac{0.0192 \, \text{mol}}{2.00 \, \text{kg}} = 0.0096 \, \text{mol/kg} \]

Finally, we calculate the change in boiling point:
\[ \Delta T_b = 3 \times 0.51 \, \text{°C/mol} \times 0.0096 \, \text{mol/kg} = 0.0147 \, \text{°C} \]

**Answer:**
The closest option to our calculated value is:
- C. 0.015°C
