Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The change in solubility of helium in water with increase in temperature has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
The solubility of ionic and molecular solids increases with increase in temperature, whereas the solubility of gas decreases with increases in temperature.
(b)
Interpretation:
The change in solubility of helium in water with decrease in temperature has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The change in solubility of helium in water with increase in pressure has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Henry’s law: The solubility of a gas in liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
For ionic/molecular solids, the solubility remains unaffected with respect to pressure.
For gases, the change in pressure would affect the solubility.
(d)
Interpretation:
The change in solubility of helium in water with decrease in pressure has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (c).

- In your own words, explain why (a) seawater has a lower freezing point than fresh water. (b) salt is added to the ice in an ice cream maker to freeze the ice cream faster.arrow_forwardStarch 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_forwardn oil spill spreads out on the surface of water, rather than dissolving in the water. Explain why.arrow_forward

- Maple syrup sap is 3% sugar (sucrose) and 97% water bymass. Maple syrup is produced by heating the sap toevaporate a certain amount of the water. (a) Describe what happens to the composition and boilingpoint of the solution as evaporation takes place. (b) A rule of thumb among maple syrup producers is thatthe finished syrup should boil about 4 C higher than theoriginal sap being boiled. Explain the chemistry behindthis guideline. (c) If the finished product boils 4 C higher than the originalsap, calculate the concentration of sugar in the finalproduct. Assume that sugar is the only solute and theoperation is done at 1 atm pressure.arrow_forwardClassify each of the following solutions as saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated based on the following observations made after adding a small piece of solid solute to the solution. a. The added solute rapidly dissolves. b. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it remains without any decrease in size. c. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it decreases in size for several hours and thereafter its size remains constant. d. The added solute causes the production of a large amount of solid white crystals.arrow_forwardEqual numbers of moles of two soluble, substances, substance A and substance B, are placed into separate 1.0-L samples of water. a The water samples are cooled. Sample A freezes at 0.50C, and Sample B freezes at l.00C. Explain how the solutions can have different freezing points. b You pour 500 mL of the solution containing substance B into a different beaker. How would the freezing point of this 500-mL portion of solution B compare to the freezing point of the 1.0-L sample of solution A? c Calculate the molality of the solutions of A and B. Assume that i = 1 for substance A. d If you were to add an additional 1.0 kg of water to solution B, what would be the new freezing point of the solution? Try to write an answer to this question without using a mathematical formula. e What concentration (molality) of substances A and B would result in both solutions having a freezing point of 0.25C? f Compare the boiling points, vapor pressure, and osmotic pressure of the original solutions of A and B.
