- Calculate the molality of a solution made by dissolving 115.0 g ethylene glycol, HOCH2CH2OH, in 500. mL water. The density of water at this temperature is 0.978 g/mL. Calculate the molarity of the solution.arrow_forwardA 1.00 mol/kg aqueous sulfuric acid solution, H2SO4,freezes at 4.04 C. Calculate i, the vant Hoff factor,for sulfuric acid in this solution.arrow_forwardA forensic chemist is given a white solid that is suspected of being pure cocaine (C17H21NO4, molar mass = 303.35 g/mol). She dissolves 1.22 0.01 g of the solid in 15.60 0.01 g benzene. The freezing point is lowered by 1.32 0.04C. a. What is the molar mass of the substance? Assuming that the percent uncertainty in the calculated molar mass is the same as the percent uncertainty in the temperature change, calculate the uncertainty in the molar mass. b. Could the chemist unequivocally state that the substance is cocaine? For example, is the uncertainty small enough to distinguish cocaine from codeine (C18H21NO3, molar mass = 299.36 g/mol)? c. Assuming that the absolute uncertainties in the measurements of temperature and mass remain unchanged, how could the chemist improve the precision of her results?arrow_forward

(e) The osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution of a certain protein was measured in order to determine the protein's molar mass.

The freezing point depression constant of benzene is 5.12 C/m. a.

Verify that the molar mass of the dimer is 475 g/mol when determined by freezing point depression. Assume no dissociation of the dimer occurs. b. The correct molar mass of the dimer is 487 g/mol. Explain why the dissociation equilibrium causes the freezing point depression calculation to yield a lower molar mass for the dimer.arrow_forwardSome lithium chloride, LiCl, is dissolved in 100 mL of water in one beaker, and some Li2SO4 is dissolved in 100 mL of water in another beaker. Both are at 10 C, and both are saturated solutions; some solid remains undissolved in each beaker. Describe what you would observe as the temperature is raised.
