Two beakers, 1 and 2, containing 50 mL of 0.10 M urea and 50 mL of 0.20 M urea, respectively, are placed under a tightly sealed container (see Figure 12.12) at 298 K. Calculate the mole fraction of urea in the solutions at equilibrium. Assume ideal behavior.

A mixture of liquids A and B exhibits ideal behavior. At 84C, the total vapor pressure of a solution containing 1.2 moles of A and 2.3 moles of B is 331 mmHg. Upon the addition of another mole of B to the solution, the vapor pressure increases to 347 mmHg. Calculate the vapor pressures of pure A and B at 84C.

Use Henrys law and the ideal gas equation to prove the statement that the volume of a gas that dissolves in a given amount of solvent is independent of the pressure of the gas. (Hint: Henrys law can be modified as n 5 kP, where n is the number of moles of the gas dissolved in the solvent.)

(a) Derive the equation relating the molality (m) of a solution to its molarity (M) m 5 M d 2 Mm 1000 where d is the density of the solution (g/mL) and m is the molar mass of the solute (g/mol). (Hint: Start by expressing the solvent in kilograms in terms of the difference between the mass of the solution and the mass of the solute.) (b) Show that, for dilute aqueous solutions, m is approximately equal to M.

At 298 K, the osmotic pressure of a glucose solution is 10.50 atm. Calculate the freezing point of the solution. The density of the solution is 1.16 g/mL

A student carried out the following procedure to measure the pressure of carbon dioxide in a soft drink bottle. First, she weighed the bottle (853.5 g). Next, she carefully removed the cap to let the CO2 gas escape. She then reweighed the bottle with the cap (851.3 g). Finally, she measured the volume of the soft drink (452.4 mL). Given that Henrys law constant for CO2 in water at 25C is 3.4 3 1022 mol/L ? atm, calculate the pressure of CO2 in the original bottle. Why is this pressure only an estimate of the true value?

Valinomycin is an antibiotic. It functions by binding K1 ions and transporting them across the membrane into cells to offset the ionic balance. The molecule is represented here by its skeletal structure in which the end of each straight line corresponds to a carbon atom (unless a N or an O atom is shown at the end of the line). There are as many H atoms attached to each C atom as necessary to give each C atom a total of four bonds. Use the like dissolves like guideline to explain its function. (Hint: The CH3 groups at the two ends of the Y shape are nonpolar.) N HN H H N O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O NH NH HN

Often the determination of the molar mass of a compound by osmotic pressure measurement is carried out at several different concentrations to get a more reliable average value. From the following data for the osmotic pressure of poly(methyl methacrylate) in toluene at 25C, determine graphically the molar mass of the polymer. [Hint: Rearrange Equation (12.8) so that is expressed in terms of c, which is the number of grams of the solute per liter of solution.] (atm) 8.40 3 1.72 3 2.52 3 3.23 3 7.75 3 1024 1023 1023 1023 1023 c (g/L) 8.10 12.31 15.00 18.17 28.05

Here is an after-dinner trick. With guests still sitting at the table, the host provided each of them with a glass of water containing an ice cube floating on top and a piece of string about 23 in. in length. He then asked them to find a way to lift the ice cube without touching it by hand or using any other objects such as a spoon or fork. Explain how this task can be accomplished. (Hint: The table had not been cleared so the salt and pepper shakers were still there.)

The molecule drawn here has shown promise as an agent for cleaning up oil spills in water. Instead of dispersing the oil into water as soap molecules would do (see Figures 12.19 and 12.20), these molecules bind with the oil to form a gel, which can be easily separated from the body of water. Suggest an explanation for the ability of this compound to remove oil from water. O O O O O OHOH H15C7 C7H15

The Henrys law constant of oxygen in water at 25C is 1.3 3 1023 mol/L ? atm. Calculate the molarity of oxygen in water under 1 atmosphere of air. Comment on the prospect for our survival without hemoglobin molecules. (Recall from previous problems that the total volume of blood in an adult human is about 5 L.)

The diagram shows the vapor pressure curves for pure benzene and a solution of a nonvolatile solute in benzene. Estimate the molality of the benzene solution. t (8C) P (atm) 75 1.0 80 85

A common misconception is that adding salt to the water used to cook spaghetti will decrease the cooking time, presumably because it increases the boiling point of the water. Calculate the boiling point of a typical salted water solution used to cook spaghetti. Do you think this increase in temperature will make much difference in the cooking time for spaghetti?

Estimate the volume of the oil droplet that would be formed by the compound sodium stearate shown in Figure 12.19

The diagram here shows the vapor pressure curves of two liquids A and B and a solution of the two liquids. Given that A is more volatile than B, match the curves with the pure liquids and the solution.
