Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.11QE
A solution made by dissolving sugar in water is homogeneous because the composition is the same everywhere. But if you could look with very high magnification, you would see locations with water particles and other locations with particles of sugar. How can we say that a sugar solution is homogenous?

- Potassium sulfate has a solubility of 15 g/ 100 g water at 40C. A solution is prepared by adding 39.0 g of potassium sulfate to 225 g of water, carefully heating the solution, and cooling it to 40C. A homogeneous solution is obtained. Is this solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated? The beaker is shaken, and precipitation occurs.

- In each case, describe the change as a chemical or physical change. Give a reason for your choice. Salt dissolves when you add it to water. Food is digested and metabolized in your body. Crystalline sugar is ground into a fine powder. When potassium is added to water there is a purplishpink flame and the water becomes basic (alkaline).arrow_forwardThe present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement.

- A 195 mL sample of ocean water contains 7.0 gg of NaCl. What is the molarity of the solution with respect to NaCl ? Express your answer using two significant figures.arrow_forwardA Solution is formed when two or more substances combine to yield a mixture that is homogeneous at the molecular level. Is a container filled with water (H,O) and some beach sand (SiO2) a solution? O Yes, because SIO, dissolves completely in water to form Si(aq) and O (aq) solvated ions. O No, because water is not capable of forming homogeneous solutions. O No, because SiO, is a nonpolar covalent molecule that does not dissolve completely in water to form solvated ions. O Yes, because water reacts violently with beach sand to form H2SIO3, Metasilicic Acid, a diprotic strong acid.arrow_forwardSuppose 1.39g of potassium nitrate is dissolved in 350.mL of a 75.0mM aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate.

In other words, why do we have to standardize the NaOH in this experiment to find its exact concentration?(Hint: think about the glassware used and refer back to the worksheet on glassware at the beginning of the semester.)arrow_forwardA chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of potassium chloride. The concentration of a solution equals the mass of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution. Here's how the student prepared the solution: • The label on the graduated cylinder says: empty weight: 1.55 g • She put some solid potassium chloride into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the potassium chloride added, the cylinder weighed 31.436 g. • She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the potassium chloride completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 166.4 mL.
