The substance mercury(I)nitrate was originally thought to have the formula HgNO3, but is now known to be Hg2(NO3)2 because the mercury(I)ion has the formula Hg22+ Freezing point depression  data provided some of the  evidence for this discovery. What value for i would be obtained for 1m solution based on the formula HgNO3 ? Should the value for i be for mercury(I)nitrate.

 The substance mercury(I)nitrate was originally thought to have the formula HgNO3, but is now known to be Hg2(NO3)2 because the mercury(I)ion has the formula Hg22+ Freezing point depression  data provided some of the  evidence for this discovery. What value for i would be obtained for 1m solution based on the formula HgNO3 ? Should the value for i be for mercury(I)nitrate.

 

Salt(NaCl) can result in corrosion problems on cars and bridges in areas where it is used to de ice roads. Use a reference source to find out what other chemicals are now sometimes used instead, with their advantages and disadvantages.

The Van't Hoff factor denoted by i describes how much a substance dissociates  or associates in a solution. For instance, i has a value of 1 when a non-electrolytic is dissolved in water. 

The value of i however, is depicted by the total number of ions that are present per formula unit of the compound when a solution of ionic compound is formed in water.
