Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions ). These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.
Answer: CoBr3 < K2SO4 < NH4 Cl
Justification:
1) The depression of the freezing point of a solution is a colligative property, which means that it depends on the number of particles of solute dissolved.
2) The formula for the depression of freezing point is:
ΔTf = i * Kf * m
Where i is the van't Hoof factor which accounts for the dissociation of the solute.
Kf is the freezing molal constant and only depends on the solvent
m is the molality (molal concentration).
3) Since, you are assuming equal concentrations and complete dissociation of the given solutes, the solute with more ions in the molecular formula will result in the solution with higher depression of the freezing point (lower freezing point).
4) These are the dissociations of the given solutes:
a) NH4 Cl (s) --> NH4(+)(aq) + Cl(-) (aq) => 1 mol --> 2 moles
b) Co Br3 (s) --> Co(3+) (aq) + 3Br(-)(aq) => 1 mol --> 4 moles
c) K2SO4 (s) --> 2K(+) (aq) + SO4 (2-) (aq) => 1 mol --> 3 moles
5) So, the rank of solutions by their freezing points is:
CoBr3 < K2SO4 < NH4 Cl

Answer:
1. A state of balance in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.
Explanation:
A dynamic equilibrium is like a cycle, the reactants change to products, but the products also change to reactants keeping the amount of each constant.
2. A state of balance in which the forward reaction stops but reverse reaction continues.
In this statement there isnt a equilibrium. The products will change to reactants until the reaction stops.
3. A state of balance in which the forward reaction continues but reverse reaction stops.
Here the reactants will change to products until the reaction stops.
4. A state of balance in which the forward and reverse reactions stop.
In this case the reaction has stopped.
