Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The solution having higher molarity needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Solutions are formed by homogeneous mixing of solute into a solvent. In the present case, solutes X and Y are dissolved using a solvent C to form a solution. Each case has its own uniqueness. The concentration of solutes and solvent should be defined in various terms to determine the strength of our solution through various angles.
Molarity is defined as ratio of number of moles of solute in a given volume of solution. It is represented by the unit “M”.
(b)
Interpretation:
The solution with higher mass percent needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Solutions are formed by homogeneous mixing of solute into a solvent. In the present case, solutes X and Y are dissolved using a solvent C to form a solution. Each case has its own uniqueness. The concentration of solutes and solvent should be defined in various terms to determine the strength of our solution through various angles.
Mass percent is defined as percent of mass of solute present in the solution.
(c)
Interpretation:
The solution having higher molality needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Solutions are formed by homogeneous mixing of solute into a solvent. In the present case, solutes X and Y are dissolved using a solvent C to form a solution. Each case has its own uniqueness. The concentration of solutes and solvent should be defined in various terms to determine the strength of our solution through various angles.
Molality of a solution is defined as number of moles of solute in 1 kg of the solvent.
(d)
Interpretation:
The solution having larger multiplier or i needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The multiplier is defined as the number of moles of particles of solution per mole of solute. In this case, this term can be redefined as the actual concentration of particle to the concentration of solute. The “particles” are the solutes X and Y in both cases. Hence, it is a relative ratio of concentration of solute molecules per mole of solute. Moles can be converted into molecules by multiplying it with
(e)
Interpretation:
The solution with solvent having higher mole fraction needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Mole fraction is a ratio of number of moles of one species with respect to total number of moles. In a solution, there is solvent and solute. Therefore, the number of moles of solvent and solute needs to be determined to obtain the total number of moles of solution.

Chemistry: Principles and Reactions
- A patient has a “cholesterol count” of 214. Like manyblood-chemistry measurements,this result is measured inunits of milligrams per deciliter (mgdL1). Determine the molar concentration of cholesterol inthis patient’s blood, taking the molar mass of cholesterolto be 386.64gmol1. Estimate the molality of cholesterol in the patient’sblood. If 214 is a typical cholesterol reading among men inthe United States, determine the volume of such bloodrequired to furnish 8.10 g of cholesterol.arrow_forwardYou have read that adding a solute to a solvent can both increase the boiling point and decrease the freezing point. A friend of yours explains it to you like this: The solute and solvent can be like salt in water. The salt gets in the way of freezing in that it blocks the water molecules from joining together. The salt acts like a strong bond holding the water molecules together so that it is harder to boil. What do you say to your friend?arrow_forwardSolutions Introduced directly into the bloodstream have to be isotonic with blood; that is, they must have the same osmotic pressure as blood. An aqueous NaCl solution has to be 0.90% by mass to be isotonic with blood. What is the molarity of the sodium ions in solution? Take the density of the solution to be 1.00 g/mL.arrow_forward
- A 12-oz (355-mL) Pepsi contains 38.9 mg caffeine (molar mass = 194.2 g/mol). Assume that the Pepsi, mainly water, has a density of 1.01 g/mL. For such a Pepsi, calculate: (a) its caffeine concentration in ppm; (b) its molarity of caffeine; and (c) the molality of caffeine.arrow_forwardWhen two beakers containing different concentrations of a solute in water are placed in a closed cabinet for a time, one beaker gains solvent and the other loses it, so that the concentrations of solute in the two beakers become equal.
