- Distinguish between dispersion methods and condensation methods for preparing colloidal systems.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_forwardWhat would be the freezing point of a solution formed by adding 1.0 mole of glucose (a molecular compound) to the following amounts of water? a. 250 g (0.25 kg) b. 500 g (0.500 kg) c. 1000 g (1.000 kg) d. 2000 g (2.000 kg)arrow_forward
- A forensic chemist is given a white solid that is suspected of being pure cocaine (C17H21NO4, molar mass = 303.35 g/mol). She dissolves 1.22 0.01 g of the solid in 15.60 0.01 g benzene. The freezing point is lowered by 1.32 0.04C. a. What is the molar mass of the substance? Assuming that the percent uncertainty in the calculated molar mass is the same as the percent uncertainty in the temperature change, calculate the uncertainty in the molar mass. b. Could the chemist unequivocally state that the substance is cocaine? For example, is the uncertainty small enough to distinguish cocaine from codeine (C18H21NO3, molar mass = 299.36 g/mol)? c. Assuming that the absolute uncertainties in the measurements of temperature and mass remain unchanged, how could the chemist improve the precision of her results?arrow_forwardYou drop an ice cube (made from pure water) into a saltwater solution at 0C. Explain what happens and why.arrow_forwardBradykinin is a small peptide (9 amino acids; 1060 g/mol) that lowers blood pressure by causing blood vessels to dilate. What is the osmotic pressure of a solution of this protein at 20 C if 0.033 g of the peptide is dissolved in water to give 50.0 mL of solution?arrow_forward
- Explain on the basis that like dissolves like why glycerol, CH2OHCHOHCH2OH, is miscible in water but benzene, C6H6, has very limited solubility in water.arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardFreezing point depression is one means of determining the molar mass of a compound. The freezing point depression constant of benzene is 5.12 C/m. a. When a 0.503 g sample of the white crystalline dimer is dissolved in 10.0 g benzene, the freezing point of benzene is decreased by 0542 C. Verify that the molar mass of the dimer is 475 g/mol when determined by freezing point depression. Assume no dissociation of the dimer occurs. b. The correct molar mass of the dimer is 487 g/mol. Explain why the dissociation equilibrium causes the freezing point depression calculation to yield a lower molar mass for the dimer.arrow_forward
- Define the terms in Raoults law. Figure 10-9 illustrates the net transfer of water molecules from pure water to an aqueous solution of a nonvolatile solute. Explain why eventually all of the water from the beaker of pure water will transfer to the aqueous solution. If the experiment illustrated in Fig. 10-9 was performed using a volatile solute, what would happen? How do you calculate the total vapor pressure when both the solute and solvent are volatile?arrow_forwardAn 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_forwardVapor-pressure lowering is a colligative property, as are freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation. What is a colligative property? Why is the freezing point depressed for a solution as compared to the pure solvent? Why is the boiling point elevated for a solution as compared to the pure solvent? Explain how to calculate T for a freezing-point depression problem or a boiling-point elevation problem. Of the solvents listed in Table 10-5, which would have the largest freezing-point depression for a 0.50 molal solution? Which would have the smallest boiling-point elevation for a 0.50 molal solution? A common application of freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation experiments is to provide a means to calculate the molar mass of a nonvolatile solute. What data are needed to calculate the molar mass of a nonvolatile solute? Explain how you would manipulate these data to calculate the molar mass of the nonvolatile solute.arrow_forward
