Textbook Question

Chapter 15.6, Problem 2.1ACP

Freezing point depression is one means of determining the molar mass of a compound. The freezing point depression constant of benzene is −5.12 °C/m.

a. When a 0.503 g sample of the white crystalline dimer is dissolved in 10.0 g benzene, the freezing point of benzene is decreased by 0542 °C. 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.

2. Platinum and other group 10 metals often act as solid phase hydrogenation catalysts for unsaturated hydrocarbons such as propylene, CH3CHCH2. In order for the reaction to be catalyzed the propylene molecules must first adsorb onto the surface. In order to completely cover the surface of a piece of platinum that has an area of 1.50 cm² with propylene, a total of 3.45 x 10¹7 molecules are needed. Determine the mass of the propylene molecules that have been absorbed onto the platinum surface.

Chem 141, Dr. Haefner 2. (a) Many main group oxides form acidic solutions when added to water. For example solid tetraphosphorous decaoxide reacts with water to produce phosphoric acid. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (b) Calcium phosphate reacts with silicon dioxide and carbon graphite at elevated temperatures to produce white phosphorous (P4) as a gas along with calcium silicate (Silcate ion is SiO3²-) and carbon monoxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
