Concept explainers
Interpretation:Reason for different solubilities of solutes in various solvents on basis of principle of like dissolves like should be determined.
Concept introduction:Solvent used in recrystallization should have below properties.
1. It should be able to dissolve desired compound in itself at high temperatures but insoluble at low temperatures. In short, solvent with favorable temperature coefficient should be used for particular solute.
2. Solvent should be chosen in such way that impurities are either insoluble in it or remain moderately soluble in it at low temperatures.
3. Boiling point of desired solvent should be low so that it gets separated from crystals easily.
4. Boiling point of solvent should be less than melting point of solid under consideration.
5. There should be no reaction between solvent and substance that needs to be purified.

- The specific gravity of a solution of KCl is greater than 1.00. The specific gravity of a solution of NH3 is less than 1.00. Is specific gravity a colligative property? Why, or why not?arrow_forwardA patient has a “cholesterol count” of 214. Like manyblood-chemistry measurements,this result is measured inunits of milligrams per deciliter (mgdL1). Determine the molar concentration of cholesterol inthis patient’s blood, taking the molar mass of cholesterolto be 386.64gmol1. Estimate the molality of cholesterol in the patient’sblood. If 214 is a typical cholesterol reading among men inthe United States, determine the volume of such bloodrequired to furnish 8.10 g of cholesterol.arrow_forwardRationalize the temperature dependence of the solubility of a gas in water in terms of the kinetic molecular theory.arrow_forward
- A student dissolves 27.2g of aniline, C6H5NH2, in 1.20102g of water. At what temperatures will the solution freeze and boil? Aniline is used in the polyurethane manufacturing process. Materials made from polyurethane include foams as pictured, spandex, hardwood floor coatings, dolly wheels, and many other end products.arrow_forwardIf a substance has a positive enthalpy of solution, which would likely cause more of it to dissolve, hot solvent or cold solvent? Explain.arrow_forwardApply your knowledge of polarity and solubility topredict whether solvation is possible in each situationshown in Table 14.9. Explain your answers.arrow_forward
- Vapor-pressure lowering is a colligative property, as are freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation. What is a colligative property? Why is the freezing point depressed for a solution as compared to the pure solvent? Why is the boiling point elevated for a solution as compared to the pure solvent? Explain how to calculate T for a freezing-point depression problem or a boiling-point elevation problem. Of the solvents listed in Table 10-5, which would have the largest freezing-point depression for a 0.50 molal solution? Which would have the smallest boiling-point elevation for a 0.50 molal solution? A common application of freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation experiments is to provide a means to calculate the molar mass of a nonvolatile solute. What data are needed to calculate the molar mass of a nonvolatile solute? Explain how you would manipulate these data to calculate the molar mass of the nonvolatile solute.arrow_forwardWhen 19.77g of glucose, C6H12O6(180.2g/mol), is dissolved in 225.6g of an organic solvent, the freezing point of the resulting solution is 1.06C lower than that of the pure solvent. What is the molality of the solution? What is the value of Kf for the solvent?arrow_forward
