Chemical Principles
- The 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_forwardThe vapor pressures of several solutions of water-propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH) were determined at various compositions, with the following data collected at 45C: H2O Vapor pressure(torr) 0 74.0 0.15 77.3 0.37 80.2 0.54 81.6 0.69 80.6 0.83 78.2 1.00 71.9 a. Are solutions of water and propanol ideal? Explain. b. Predict the sign of Hsoln for water-propanol solutions. c. Are the interactive forces between propanol and water molecules weaker than, stronger than, or equal to the interactive forces between the pure substances? Explain. d. Which of the solutions in the data would have the lowest normal boiling point?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
- In a mountainous location, the boiling point of pure water is found to be 95C. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 1 kg of water to bring the boiling point back to 100C? Assume that i = 2.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_forwardConsider two hypothetical pure substances, AB(s) and XY(s). When equal molar amounts of these substances are placed in separate 500-mL samples of water, they undergo the following reactions: AB(s)A+(aq)+B(aq)XY(s)XY(aq) a Which solution would you expect to have the lower boiling point? Why? b Would you expect the vapor pressures of the two solutions to be equal? If not, which one would you expect to have the higher vapor pressure? c Describe a procedure that would make the two solutions have the same boiling point. d If you took 250 mL of the AB(aq) solution prepared above, would it have the same boiling point as the original solution? Be sure to explain your answer. e The container of XY(aq) is left out on the bench top for several days, which allows some of the water to evaporate from the solution. How would the melting point of this solution compare to the melting point of the original solution?arrow_forward
- Silver ion has an average concentration of 28 ppb (parts per billion) in U.S. water supplies. (a) What is the molality of the silver ion? (b) If you wanted 1.0 102 g of silver and could recover it chemically from water supplies, what volume of water in liters would you have to treat?

Calculate the freezing point and boiling point of the solution.arrow_forwardFreezing 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.arrow_forward
