Exercise \(\PageIndex{1c}\)

Like dissolves like” refers to the fact that _____.

1. Condensed phases can only dissolve other condensed phases
2. Gases can only dissolve other gases
3. Polar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes and vice versa
4. Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes

Exercise \(\PageIndex{1d}\)

Which of the following should be immiscible with carbon tetrachloride, CCl₄?

1. Br₂
2. C₃H₈
3. C₆H₁₄
4. CH₃CH₂OH
5. CHCl₃

Answer

d. CH₃CH₂OH,  note:  you might expect chloroform (CHCl₃) to be immiscible because it is polar, but it is miscible in CCl₄.  This is easiest understood by looking at the similarity of the two molecules (like dissolves in like) in that the only difference between them is one of the chlorine atoms is replaced by a hydrogen, which does make it polar, but the large chlorines are highly polarizable and that effect takes precedence.  On an exam we would not give you a borderline case like this, but chloroform is a common solvent and soluble in carbon tetrachloride.

Exercise \(\PageIndex{2l}\)

What mass of KBr should be added to 120mL of water to create a 1.8m solution? The molecular weight of KBr is 119g/mol.

Answer

a 1.8m solution of KBr contains  214.2Kg KBr per liter 

(\(1.8 \frac{mol \;KBr}{kg \; H_20}\))(\(\frac{119g \; KBr}{mol}\))=214.8 gKBr/kgH₂O

Water has a density of 1g/mL, so 120mL water = 120g = 0.12Kg,

So  \(  \left ( \frac{214.8g \; KBr}{kg \; H_2O} \right )0.12kg=25.7g \; KBr \)

Answer

\[f_{NaCl}\equiv fraction_{NaCl} \;\; and \;\;m_{total} \equiv m_T \\ \;\\f_{NaCl}\left ( m_T \right )=m_{NaCl} \therefore\;m_T=\frac{m_{NaCl}}{f_{NaCl}}=\frac{0.589g}{0.482}=1.222g\\ \; \\M_T = m_{NaCl}+m_{solvent} \; \therefore \;\;m_{solvent}=m_T-m_{NaCl}=1.222g-0.589g = 0.633g\]

Answer

\[Part\,per\,million = \frac{mg\,solute}{L\,solution}\]

\[Part\,per\,million = \frac{mg\,KMnO_{4}}{L\,solution}\]

we are converting from one description of concentration to another, and so the quantity does not matter

\frac{2.76*10^{-3}\,mol}{1\,L\,KMnO_{4}}\left ( \frac{158\,g}{1\,mol\,KMnO_{4}} \right )\left ( \frac{1000\,mg}{1\,g} \right )=\frac{436\,mg\,KMnO_{4}}{L} = 436\,ppm

\[\mu g\,ZnCl_{2}=2340.8\,\mu g\,ZnCl_{2}\]

\[Parts\,per\,billion=377\,ppb\]

\[Part\,per\,billion = \frac{\mu g\,solute}{L\,solution}\]

\[\mu g\,solute=\mu g\,AgBr_{2}\]

\[\mu g\,AgBr_{2}=5.0\,L*\left ( \frac{2.762*10^{-8}\,mol}{1\,L} \right )\left ( \frac{267.7\,g}{1\,mol} \right )\left ( \frac{1*10^{6}\,\mu g}{1\,g} \right )\]

\[\mu g\,AgBr_{2}=36.97\, \mu g\,AgBr_{2}\]

\[\%\,by\,mass=\frac{16g}{16g\,+\,39g}*100=29\%\]

Exercise \(\PageIndex{2ab}\)

An organic solution is 72% water by mass and has a density of 1.3 g/mL.  What is the molarity of the solution if the molecular weight of the solute is 64 g/mol. 

Answer

Molarity = \(\frac{mole_{solute}}{L_{solution}}\)

If you have 1 liter the total mass is 1,300g as there are 1,000 mL in a L

If it is 72% water it is 28% solute, so the mass fraction solute is 0.28, and the mass solute in 1 liter is 0.28(1,300)=364g

So the moles solute in 1 liter is 364g(\(\frac{mole solute}{64g}\))=5.6875mol

So the molarity is 5.7mol/L=5.7M

Answer

\[\Delta t=K_{bp}m\]

The boiling point of pure water is 100°C.

\[m=\frac{\Delta t}{K_{bp}}\]

\[m=\frac{101.0\,^{0}C-100.00\,^{0}C}{0.5121\,^{0}C/m}\]

Answer

\[\Delta t=K_{bp}m\]

\[molality=\frac{moles\,of\,the\,solute}{mass\,of\,the\,solvent\,in\,kg}\]

\[\Delta t=\frac{\frac{1.25g}{152.14g/mol}}{\frac{100g}{1000}}*2.53\,^{0}C/m=0.21\,^{0}C\]

Answer

\[P_{solvent}=X_{solvent}*P^{0}_{solvent}\]

\[90g\,C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}*\left ( \frac{1mol\,C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}}{180g\,C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}} \right )=0.5mol\,C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\]

\[500g\,H_{2}O*\left ( \frac{1mol\,H_{2}O}{18g\,H_{2}O} \right )=27.8mol\,\,H_{2}O\]

\[X=\frac{27.8mol\,H_{2}O}{27.8mol\,H_{2}O+0.5mol\,C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}}=0.98\]

\[P=0.98*23.8=23.3torr\]

When 90.0 g of the solid were added to 50.0g of water, the vapor pressure of the solution dropped from 17.4 torr to 12.4 torr.  Determine the molecular mass of the compound. 

Method 1

\[P_{solvent}=X_{solvent}*P^{0}_{solvent}\]

\[X_{solvent}=\frac{P_{solvent}}{P^{0}_{solvent}}=\frac{12.4}{17.4}=\frac{\frac{50.0}{18}}{\frac{50.0}{18}+\frac{90.0}{MW}}\]

\[MW=80.4g/mol\]

Method 2

\[\Delta P=-X_{solute}*P^{0}_{solvent}\]

\[\Delta P=12.4-17.4=-5.0torr\]

\[X_{solvent}=-\frac{\Delta P}{P^{0}_{solvent}}=-\frac{-5.0}{17.4}=0.287\]

\[X_{solvent}=\frac{\frac{90.0}{MW}}{\frac{90.0}{MW}+\frac{50.0}{18}}=0.287\]

solve for MW,

Exercise \(\PageIndex{5u}\)

What is the vapor pressure of a 10% aqueous solution of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) at 20⁰C?  The vapor pressure of water at 20⁰C is 17.5 torr.

Answer

Assume the solution is 100.0g. Then, 10% of the solution implies that the solution contains 10.0g of the solute (sucrose MW=342g/mol), and 90.0g of water.

\[\frac{10.0g}{342g/mol}=0.029mol\,sucrose\]

\[\frac{90.0}{18g/mol}=5.0g\]

\[X=\frac{5.0}{5.0+0.029}=0.994\]

\[P_{solvent}=X_{solvent}*P^{0}_{solvent}\]

Answer

\[18g\,glucose*\frac{1mol}{180g\,glucose}=0.1mol\,glucose\]

\[95g\,water*\frac{1mol}{18g\,water}=5.28mol\,water\]

\[X=\frac{moles\,water}{total\,moles}=\frac{5.28mol}{5.28mol+0.1mol}=0.981\]

The solution of NaCl is a mixture of water and NaCl, a strong electrolyte. As each NaCl creates on Na+ and one Cl- and if we ignore ion pairing (Van't Hoff effect) the 1.0M NaCl is 2.0M in all ions.

\[\pi =2.0*0.08206*298.15=49atm\]

The reverse osmotic pressure has to be twice as much to desalinate the salt solution. Therefore, the answer will be 98 atm.

\[M=\frac{\pi }{RT}=\frac{0.136}{0.08206*298.15}=0.0056M\]

\[\frac{\frac{1.136g}{molar\,mass}}{1L}=0.0056M\]

\[molar\,mass=204g/mol\]

Exercise \(\PageIndex{5ad}\)

Using a solution prepared by dissolving 0.60g of nicotine (a nonelectrolyte) in water to make 12mL of solution has an osmotic pressure of 7.55atm at 25C. What is the molecular weight of nicotine in g/mol?

Answer

\(\pi =MRT\), where R = 0.08206 L/K*mol

\[M=\frac{\pi }{RT}=\frac{7.55atm}{0.08206*(25+273.15)}=0.309M\]

\[12mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}\frac{0.309mol}{1L}=3.70*10^{-3}mol\]

\[3.70*10^{-3}mol=\frac{0.60g}{molar\,mass}\]

\[molar\,mass=162g/mol\]
