Concept introduction:
Colligative properties are the properties that depend on the number of particles present in the solution. Elevation in boiling point, depression in freezing point, lowering in vapor pressure and osmotic pressure are some common examples of colligative properties. Vapor pressure is the pressure that is exerted by vapor on the liquid surface in a closed system when the system is in
When a non-volatile solute is dissolved in a solvent to get the solution, the vapor pressure decreases for the solution and it can be calculated with the help of Raoult’s law. The law states that the vapor pressure of the solution is the product of a mole fraction of the solvent and vapor pressure of the pure solvent.

- In a mountainous location, the boiling point of pure water is found to be 95C. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 1 kg of water to bring the boiling point back to 100C? Assume that i = 2.arrow_forwardTwo samples of sodium chloride solutions are brought to a boil on a stove. One of the solutions boils at 100.10C and the other at 100.15C. a Which of the solutions is more concentrated? b Which of the solutions would have a lower freezing point? c If you split the solution that boils at 100.1C into two portions, how would the boiling points of the samples compare? Which of the following statements do you agree with regarding the determination of your answer for part c? I. The question cannot be answered with certainty without knowing the volumes of each portion. II. Making the necessary assumption that the two samples have equal volumes, I was able to correctly answer the question. III. The volumes that the sample was split into are irrelevant when determining the correct answer.arrow_forward1. Vapor pressure: Arrange the following aqueous solutions in order of increasing vapor pressure at 25°C: 0.35 m C2H4(OH)2 (ethylene glycol, nonvolatile solute); 0.50 m sugar; 0.20 m KBr; and 0.20 m Na2SO4. C2H4(OH)2 < sugar < KBr < Na2SO4 Na2SO4 < sugar < KBr < C2H4(OH)2 sugar < C2H4(OH)2 < KBr < Na2SO4 KBr < sugar < Na2SO4 < C2H4(OH)2arrow_forward
- Consider two hypothetical pure substances, AB(s) and XY(s). When equal molar amounts of these substances are placed in separate 500-mL samples of water, they undergo the following reactions: AB(s)A+(aq)+B(aq)XY(s)XY(aq) a Which solution would you expect to have the lower boiling point? Why? b Would you expect the vapor pressures of the two solutions to be equal? If not, which one would you expect to have the higher vapor pressure? c Describe a procedure that would make the two solutions have the same boiling point. d If you took 250 mL of the AB(aq) solution prepared above, would it have the same boiling point as the original solution? Be sure to explain your answer. e The container of XY(aq) is left out on the bench top for several days, which allows some of the water to evaporate from the solution. How would the melting point of this solution compare to the melting point of the original solution?arrow_forwardPure ethylene glycol, HOCH2CH2OH, is added 2.00 kg of water in the cooling system of a car. The vapor pressure of the water in the system when the temperature is 90 C is 457 mm Hg. What mass of glycol was added? (Assume the solution is ideal. See Appendix G for the vapor pressure of water.)arrow_forwardWhat is the freezing point and normal boiling point of a solution made by adding 39 mL of acetone, C3H6O, to 225 mL of water? The densities of acetone and water are 0.790 g/cm3 and 1.00 g/cm3, respectively.arrow_forward

What mass (in grams) of the salt must have been dissolved if the boiling point of a solution of the salt in 25.0 g chloroform is 63.20 C? The normal boiling point of chloroform is 61.70 C and Kb = 3.63 C kg mol1. Assume that the salt dissociates completely into its ions in solution.arrow_forward2.

An aqueous solution of insulin has an osmotic pressure of 2.5 mm Hg at 25C. It is prepared by dissolving 0.100 g of insulin in enough water to make 125 mL of solution.
