Basic Chemistry
- What is the usual solubility behavior of an ionic compound in water when the temperature is raised? Give an example of an exception to this behavior.arrow_forwardThe carbohydrate digitoxose contains 48.64% carbon and 8.16% hydrogen. The addition of 18.0 g of this compound to 100 g of water gives a solution that has a freezing point of 2.2C. a What is the molecular formula of the compound? b What is the molar mass of this compound to the nearest tenth of a gram?arrow_forwardVodka is advertised to be 80 proof. That means that the ethanol (C2H5OH) concentration is 40% (two significant figures) by volume. Assuming the density of the solution to be 1.0 g/mL, what is the freezing point of vodka? The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL.arrow_forward
- The freezing point of 0.109 m aqueous formic acid is 0.210C. Formic acid, HCHO2, is partially dissociated according to the equation HCHO2(aq)H+(aq)+CHO2(aq) Calculate the percentage of HCHO2 molecules that are dissociated, assuming the equation for the freezing-point depression holds for the total concentration of molecules and ions in the solution.arrow_forwardUrea, (NH2)2CO, has been used to melt ice from sidewalks, because the use of salt is harmful to plants. If the saturated aqueous solution contains 41% urea by mass, what is the freezing point? (The answer will be approximate, because the equation in the text applies accurately only to dilute solutions.)arrow_forwardA compound of cobalt, carbon, and oxygen contains 28.10% C and 34.47% Co. When 0.147 g of this compound is dissolved in 6.72 g of cyclohexane, the solution freezes at 5.23C. What is the molecular formula of this compound?arrow_forward
- An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion analysis of the compound gives mass percents of 31.57% C and 5.30% H. The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing-point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of 5.20C is recorded for a solution made by dissolving 10.56 g of the compound in 25.0 g water. Determine the empirical formula, molar mass, and molecular formula of the compound. Assume that the compound is a nonelectrolyte.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_forwardButylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is used as an antioxidant in processed foods. (It prevents fats and oils from becoming rancid.) A solution of 2.500 g of BHT in 100.0 g of benzene had a freezing point of 4.880C. What is the molecular weight of BHT?arrow_forward
