- What quantity of ethylene glycol, HOCH2CH2OH, must be added to 125 g of water to raise the boiling point by 1.0 C? Express the answer in grams.arrow_forwardThe dispersed phase of a certain colloidal dispersion consists of spheres of diameter 1.0 102 nm. (a) What are the volume (V=43r2) and surface area (A = r2) of each sphere? (b) How many spheres are required to give a total volume of 1.0 cm3? What is the total surface area of these spheres in square meters?arrow_forwardFluoridation of city water supplies has been practiced in the United States for several decades. It is done by continuously adding sodium fluoride to water as it comes from a reservoir. Assume you live in a medium-sized city of 150,000 people and that 660 L (170 gal) of water is used per person per day. What mass of sodium fluoride (in kilograms) must be added to the water supply each year (365 days) to have the required fluoride concentration of 1 ppm (part per million)that is, 1 kilogram of fluoride per 1 million kilograms of water? (Sodium fluoride is 45.0% fluoride, and water has a density of 1.00 g/cm3.)arrow_forward
- Starch contains CC, CH, CO, and OH bonds. Hydrocarbons have only CC and CH bonds. Both starch and hydrocarbons can form colloidal dispersions in water. Which dispersion is classified as hydrophobic? Which is hydrophilic? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardThe organic salt [(C4H9)4N][ClO4] consists of the ions (C4H9)4N+ and ClO4. The salt dissolves in chloroform. What mass (in grams) of the salt must have been dissolved if the boiling point of a solution of the salt in 25.0 g chloroform is 63.20 C? The normal boiling point of chloroform is 61.70 C and Kb = 3.63 C kg mol1. Assume that the salt dissociates completely into its ions in solution.arrow_forwardWhat is the freezing point and normal boiling point of a solution made by adding 39 mL of acetone, C3H6O, to 225 mL of water? The densities of acetone and water are 0.790 g/cm3 and 1.00 g/cm3, respectively.arrow_forward
- 6-111 As noted in Section 6-8C, the amount of external pressure that must be applied to a more concentrated solution to stop the passage of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane is known as the osmotic pressure The osmotic pressure obeys a law similar in form to the ideal gas law (discussed in Section 5-4), where Substituting for pressure and solving for osmotic pressures gives the following equation: RT MRT, where M is the concentration or molarity of the solution. (a) Determine the osmotic pressure at 25°C of a 0.0020 M sucrose (C12H22O11) solution. (b) Seawater contains 3.4 g of salts for every liter of solution. Assuming the solute consists entirely of NaCl (and complete dissociation of the NaCI salt), calculate the osmotic pressure of seawater at 25°C. (c) The average osmotic pressure of blood is 7.7 atm at 25°C. What concentration of glucose (C6H12O6) will be isotonic with blood? (d) Lysozyme is an enzyme that breaks bacterial cell walls. A solution containing 0.150 g of this enzyme in 210. mL of solution has an osmotic pressure of 0.953 torr at 25°C. What is the molar mass of lysozyme? (e) The osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution of a certain protein was measured in order to determine the protein's molar mass. The solution contained 3.50 mg of protein dissolved in sufficient water to form 5.00 mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of the solution at 25°C was found to be 1.54 torr. Calculate the molar mass of the protein.arrow_forwardThe osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution of a certain protein was measured to determine the protein’s molar mass.

- The common laboratory solvent diethyl ether (ether) is often used to purify substances dissolved in it. The vapor pressure of diethyl ether, CH3CH,0CH,CH3, is 463.57 mm Hg at 25 °C. In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 34.94 grams of the compound were dissolved in 220.4 grams of diethyl ether, the vapor pressure of the solution was 449.89 mm Hg. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight of this compound? diethyl ether = CH3CH,0CH,CH3 = 74.12 g/mol.
