Interpretation The reasons why methanol and ethanol are soluble in water whereas octanol is poorly soluble have to be determined.
Concept introduction:
‘Like dissolves like’ principle said that polar compounds including ionic compound should be more soluble in polar solvent. Likewise, non-polar compound should be more soluble in non-polar solvent. Other hand, compounds with similar intermolecular force capability to soluble in one another because solute-solvent interactions are similar signification to the solute-solute interaction.
‘ The set of repulsive and attractive force between molecules that result from the polarity between neighboring molecules is represented as intermolecular force. There are four types of intermolecular forces:
- Hydrogen bonding
- London dispersion force
- Ion – dipole force
- Dipole – Dipole force
Hydrogen bond: Hydrogen is bonded to strong electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen etc.

- Suppose you are presented with a clear solution of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3. How could you determine whether the solution is unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated?arrow_forwardThe osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution of a certain protein was measured to determine the protein’s molar mass. The solution contained 3.50 mg of protein dissolved in sufficient water to form 5.00 mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of the solution at 25 °C was found to be 1.54 torr. Treating the protein as a nonelectrolyte (The Van't Hoff Factor = 1), calculate its molar mass. R = 0.0821 L•atm• mol-1• K-1 (Note: Don't forget to convert your pressure to atmospheres and temperature to kelvin if you use this version of the gas constant.)arrow_forwardB-Galactosidase (ß-gal) is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ß-galactosides into monosaccharides. A 0,421 g sample of ß-galactosidase is dissolved in water to make 0.133 L of solution, and the osmotic pressure of the solution at 25 'C' is found to be 0.674 mbar. Calculate the molecular mass of ß-galactosidase. molecular mass: TOOLS *10* g/mol C Carrow_forward
- Which compounds are more soluble in water (H2O) and which in hexane (C6H14)?arrow_forward24.9 g of an unknown molecular solute is dissolved in 5.01 moles of 1,2-ethanediol (C2H6O2), causing the freezing point of 1,2-ethanediol to decrease by 3.32 °C. Calculate the molar mass of the solute. For 1,2-ethanediol, the molar mass is 62.07 g/mol and Kf = 3.11 °C/m.arrow_forwardA sample of 2.05 g of polystyrene of uniform polymer chainlength was dissolved in enough toluene to form 0.100 L of solution.The osmotic pressure of this solution was found to be 1.21kPa at 25 °C. Calculate the molar mass of the polystyrene.arrow_forward
- If 60.3 mg of a new biodegradable polymer are dissolved in 0.502 mL of water and the resulting solution has an osmotic pressure of 1.63 mm Hg at 313 K, what is the molecular mass for this new polymer?arrow_forward5. (a) The melting point of ammonia (NH3) is higher than that of methane (CH4) and yet these molecules have comparable molecular mass. Why does NH3 have a higher melting point than CH4? Explain in terms of intermolecular forces. (b) Predict the solubility of HF, HCl and Cl2 in water and explain your answer.arrow_forwardDescribe what occurs during the dissociation of NaCl inwater. What occurs when glucose (C6H12O6 ) dissolves inwater?arrow_forward
- A polymer sample of 4.1 g was dissolved in enough dichloromethane to form 0.100 L of solution. The osmotic pressure of this solution was found to be 1.21 kPa at 25°C. Calculate the molar mass of the polymer. Hint: Take "i "as 1.arrow_forward Small alcohols like ethanol are completely miscible in water or water-based solvents. Long chain alcohols like decanol are nearly insoluble in water. Why do you think this happens?arrow_forwardSuggest an explanation for the observations that ethanol, C2H5OH, is completely miscible with water and that ethanethiol, C2H5SH, is soluble only to the extent of 1.5 g per 100 mL of water.arrow_forward
