Chemistry: Principles and Reactions
- In some regions of the southwest United States, the water is very hard. For example, in Las Cruces, New Mexico, the tap water contains about 560 g of dissolved solids per milliliter. Reverse osmosis units are marketed in this area to soften water. A typical unit exerts a pressure of 8.0 atm and can produce 45 L water per day. a. Assuming all of the dissolved solids are MgCO3 and assuming a temperature of 27C, what total volume of water must be processed to produce 45 L pure water? b. Would the same system work for purifying seawater? (Assume seawater is 0.60 M NaCl.)arrow_forwardIn the distillation of a pure substance (e.g., water), why does all of the water not vaporize at once when the boiling point is reached?arrow_forwardWhat is the boiling point of a solution of NaCI in water if the solution freezes at -0.93 C?arrow_forward
- When KNO3 is dissolved in water, the resulting solution is significantly colder than the water was originally. (a) Is the dissolution of KNO3 an endothermic or an exothermic process? (b) What conclusions can you draw about the intermolecular attractions involved in the process? (c) Is the resulting solution an ideal solution?arrow_forwardA solution is made by adding 50.0 mL of ethanol (C2H5OH, d = 0.789 g/mL) to 50.0 mL of water (d = 0.998 g/mL). What is the total vapor pressure over the solution at 20 C? (See Study Question 75.) The vapor pressure of ethanol at 20 C is 43.6 mm Hg.arrow_forwardThe sugar fructose contains 40.0% C, 6.7% H, and 53.3% O by mass. A solution of 11.7 g of fructose in 325 g of ethanol has a boiling point of 78.59 C. The boiling point of ethanol is 78.35 C, and Kb for ethanol is 1.20 C/m . What is the molecular formula of fructose?arrow_forward
- Consider 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_forwardDescribe, on both a microscopic and a macroscopic basis, what happens to a sample of water as it is cooled from room temperture to 50Cbelow its normal freezing point.arrow_forwardThe solubility of nitrogen in water is 8.21 104 mol/L at 0C when the N2 pressure above water is 0.790 atm. Calculate the Henrys law constant for N2 in units of mol/L atm for Henrys law in the form C = kP, where C is the gas concentration in mol/L. Calculate the solubility of N2 in water when the partial pressure of nitrogen above water is 1.10 atm at 0C.arrow_forward

When doing so, the owners winterize the plumbing by putting antifreeze in the toilet tanks, for example. Will adding 525 g of HOCH2CH2OH to 3.00 kg of water ensure that the water will not freeze at 25 C?arrow_forward
