Concept explainers
Dimethylglyoxime [DMG, (CH3CNOH)2] is used as a reagent to precipitate nickel ion. Assume that 53.0 g of DMC has been dissolved in 525 g of ethanol (C2H5OH).
s
The red, insoluble compound formed between nickel(II)ion and dimethylglyoxime (DMG) is precipitated when DMG is added to a bask solution of Ni2+ (aq).
- (a) What is the mole fraction of DMG?
- (b) What is the molality of the solution?
- (c) What is the vapor pressure of the ethanol over the solution at ethanol’s normal boiling point of 78.4 °C?
- (d) What is the boiling point of the solution? (DMG does not produce ions in solution.) (Kbp for ethanol = +1.22 °C/m)
