Q6-1
How do you distinguish which compounds are soluble or insoluble, is it a “yes/no” question?
Q6-2
Which of these compounds would you say are soluble in water?
Q6-3
Draw a Lewis structures for propane, ethanol, and dimethyl ether.
Q6-4

Section 6-5
Q6-1
You make a solution using a solid solute (5g) in water (total volume 100 mL). The molar mass of the solute is 110 g/mol
A) What is the molarity?
B) What is the concentration reported as % by mass? (assuming the density of water is 1g/mL)
C) What is different about these two concentration units? (why would you use one rather than another?)
Q6-2
When you make the solution, all the solute dissolves and the temperature rises, what does that allow you to say about:
A) ΔG for solution
B) ΔH for solution
C) ΔS for solution
D) The relative strengths of the interactions before mixing (solute-solute, and solvent-solvent), and after mixing (solute-solvent)
Section 6-6
Q6-1
What kind of bonding is present in CaCl2? (How do you know?)
Q6-2
Draw a picture of CaCl2 solid. Be sure to take into consideration how it looks (size and the relationship between Ca and Cl).
Q6-3
CaCl2 is soluble in water. Draw a picture of what the solution might look like, showing water molecules, the Ca and the Cl species.
Q6-4
What property does a solution of CaCl2 have that a solution of sugar does not? (It may help if you draw what an aqueous solution of sugar would look like.) How could you test your predictions?
Section 6-7
Q6-1
A) Take the first baggie, which contains CaCl2, and add a few drops of water to the white power. What happens? Record your observations.
Is thermal energy released from, or absorbed by the system? |
What is the sign of ΔG for this process? How do you know? |
What is the sign of ΔH for this process? How do you know |
What is the sign of ΔS for this process? How do you know |
|
|
