Archimedes, a famous Greek scientist, was given a problem by King Hieron II of Syracuse (Sicily). The king suspected that his crown, which was supposed to be made of pure gold, contained some silver alloy, and he asked Archimedes to prove or disprove his suspicion. (It turned out that the crown did not contain silver.) How would you experimentally determined whether or not the crown was pure gold? (Hint: The method came to Archimedes when getting into a full bathtub. See the footnote in Experiment 22 for Archimedes’ solution.)
1.) In the Dumas method for determining the molar mass of an unknown volatile liquid, a sample of a volatile liquid that boils below 100 oC is vaporized in a boiling water bath and the mass of the vapor required to fill the flask is determined. The following data was collected:
Flask Volume
100.0 +100.0 + 79.6 mL = 279.6 mL
Mass of Flask + Cap
143.85 g
Mass of Flask + Condensed Liquid
144.95 g
Mass of Condensed Liquid
1.10 g
Temperature of Water Bath (oC)
84.1 oC
Barometric Pressure (atm)
0.985 atm
a.) What is the molar mass of the unknown?
b.) What will its temperature be when the pressure is 1.20 atm and the volume is 250.0 mL?
Are each of the following things good or bad in a distillation? (a) The distillation stops at one point, and the temperature drops. (b) The material in the distilling flask boils violently and some sloshes up and into the condenser (c) You forget to run water through the condenser. (d) Distillate drops out of the condenser at the rate of about one drop per second.

- You determine the acetic acid (HOAc) content of vinegar by titrating with a sodium hydroxide standard solution to a phenolphthalein (an indicator) end point. An approximately 5-mL sample of vinegar is weighed on an analytical balance in a weighing boat and this is found to be 5.0268 g. The standard deviation in making a single weighing is 0.2 mg. The sodium hydroxide must be accurately standardised (this means its concentration must be accurately determined) by titrating known mass of high-purity potassium hydrogen phthalate, and three such titrations give molar concentrations of 0.1167, 0.1163 and 0.1164 mol L-1. A volume of 36.78 mL of sodium hydroxide is used to titrate each sample. The standard deviation of the burette used is 0.02 mL.
