Magnesium chloride is an important coagulant used in the preparation of tofu from soy milk. Its solubility in water at 20°C is 54.6 g/100 g. At 80°C, its solubility is 66.1 g/100 g. A mixture is made up of 16.2 g of magnesium chloride and 38.2 g of water at 20°C.
(a) Is the mixture homogeneous? If it is, how many more grams of magnesium chloride are required to make a saturated solution? If the mixture is not homogeneous, how many grams of magnesium chloride are undissolved?
(b) How many more grams of magnesium chloride are needed to make a saturated solution at 80°C?

- 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. How many grams of potassium sulfate would you expect to crystallize out?arrow_forwardOne of the common intravenous fluids, called physiological saline, is a homogeneous mixture of NaCl in water. In this mixture, 0.89% of the mass is contributed by the NaCl. What mass of NaCl is found in 450. mL of physiological saline? ((Density of physiological saline = 1.005 g/cm3)arrow_forwardA common antifreeze for car radiators is ethylene glycol, CH2(OH)CH2(OH). How many milliliters of this substance would you add to 4.2 L of water in the radiator if the coldest day in winter is −25°C? (The density and boiling point of ethylene glycol are 1.11 g·cm−3 and 470. K, respectively. Assume the density of water at its freezing point is 0.99987 g·cm−3, and Kf for water is 1.86 K·kg·mol−1.)arrow_forward
