The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the addition of `HgI2` to an aqueous solution of `KI`, we need to analyze the effects on the freezing point and boiling point of the solution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Freezing Point Depression**: - The freezing point depression can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m \] where: - \( \Delta T_f \) = depression in freezing point - \( i \) = van 't Hoff factor (number of particles the solute breaks into) - \( K_f \) = freezing point depression constant - \( m \) = molality of the solution 2. **Determining the Reaction**: - When `HgI2` is added to `KI`, it reacts to form `K2HgI4`: \[ HgI_2 + 2KI \rightarrow K_2HgI_4 \] - This reaction indicates that `HgI2` combines with `KI` to form a complex, which affects the number of particles in the solution. 3. **Analyzing the Van 't Hoff Factor (i)**: - In this case, the van 't Hoff factor \( i \) for the resulting solution will be less than that of the individual ions from `KI` and `HgI2` because they form a complex. - For `KI`, when it dissociates, it gives 3 particles (2 K⁺ and 1 I₂). However, when combined with `HgI2`, the effective number of particles is reduced. 4. **Effect on Freezing Point**: - Since the van 't Hoff factor \( i \) decreases due to the formation of the complex, the depression in freezing point \( \Delta T_f \) will also decrease. - Therefore, the freezing point of the solution will **not be raised** and will actually be **lowered** compared to pure solvent. 5. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Freezing point is raised" - **Incorrect** (freezing point is lowered). - **Option 2**: "Freezing point does not change" - **Incorrect** (freezing point does change). - **Option 3**: "Freezing point is lowered" - **Correct** (this is true). - **Option 4**: "Boiling point does not change" - **Incorrect** (boiling point will change as well). ### Conclusion: The statements that are **not correct** are: - Option 1: Freezing point is raised. - Option 2: Freezing point does not change. - Option 4: Boiling point does not change. ### Final Answer: The answer will be **2, 3, and 4**. ---
