Magnesium citrate, Mg,(C,H3O;)2, belongs to a class of laxatives called hyperosmotics, which cause rapid emptying of the bowel. When a concentrated solution of magnesium citrate is con- sumed, it passes through the intestines, drawing water and pro- moting diarrhea, usually within 6 hours. Calculate the osmotic pressure of a magnesium citrate laxative solution containing 28.5 g of magnesium citrate in 235 mL of solution at 37 °C (approximate body temperature). Assume complete dissocia- tion of the ionic compound.

A solution which is composed of heptane (C-H16, 100.198 g mol") and octane (CH13, 114.224 g mol-) has vapor pressure of 78 torr at 40 °C. The saturated vapor at equilibrium with the solution contains 16.55 g heptane and 22.15 g octane. The vapor pressures of pure heptane and pure octane at 40 °C were 92.0 Torr and 31.2 Torr, respectively. What is the mole percent of C3H;3 in the initial solution? Do not write units, only enter numerical values. Use two digits at most for decimal numbers, use dot (.) as decimal separator (i.e. two-point-fifty-one should be entered as 2.51).
