    Q1

    What is the osmotic pressure, in atm, of an aqueous solution of 1.64 g of Ca(NO3)2 in water at 25 °C? The volume of the solution is 275 mL. (Hint: What is the van't Hoff factor assuming dilute solution behavior?)

    Q2

    What is the molar mass of a solution of 5.00 g of a compound in 25.00 g of carbon tetrachloride (bp 76.8 °C; Kb = 5.02 °C/m) that boils at 81.5 °C at 1 atm? (Hint: Compounds do NOT dissociate in nonpolar solvent such as CCl4. What is the molality of the solution?)

    Q3

    The reaction below starts after adding 2.5 mol of NH3, 5.0 mol of N2, and 7.5 mol of H2 to a 5.00-L container. Calculate the reaction quotient and determine the direction in which the system will proceed to reach equilibrium.

    \(\ce{2NH3}(g) \rightleftharpoons \ce{N2}(g)+\ce{3H2}(g) \hspace{20px} K_c=17\);

    Q4

    What is the molarity of H2O after a mixture that contains [H2O] = 1.00 M and [Cl2O] = 1.00 M comes to equilibrium at 25 °C?

    \(\ce{H2O}(g)+\ce{Cl2O}(g)⇌\ce{2HOCl}(g) \hspace{20px} K_c=0.10\)

    (Hint: Let \(x\) be the decrease in [H2O] to reach the equilibrium.Take the square root of \(K_c\) once you express \(K_c\) in terms of \(x\).)
