A sample of 2.05 g of polystyrene of uniform polymer chain length was dissolved in enough toluene 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 polystyrene.
The 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 insufficient 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, calculate its molar mass.
If the pure water in the left arm of the U-tube is replaced by a solution more concentrated than the one in the right arm, what will happen?
A. Nothing
B. Water flows through the semipermeable membrane from the more dilute solution to the more concentrated solution and the liquid level in the left arm rises.
C. Water flows through the semipermeable membrane from the more concentrated solution to the more dilute solution and the liquid level in the right arm rises.
Calculate the freezing point of a solution containing 0.600 kg of CHCl3 and 42.0 g of eucalyptol (C10H18O), a fragrant substance found in the leaves of eucalyptus trees.
Automotive antifreeze consists of ethylene glycol, CH2(OH)CH2(OH), a nonvolatile nonelectrolyte. Calculate the boiling point and freezing point of a 25.0 mass % solution of ethylene glycol in water.
A solution is made by dissolving 4.35 g glucose (C6H12O6) in 25.0 mL of water at 25 C. Calculate the molality of glucose in the solution. Water has a density of 1.00 g/mL.
Predict whether each of the following substances is more likely to dissolve in the nonpolar solvent carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) or in water: C7H16, Na2SO4, HCl, and I2.
Answer: C7H16 and I2 (the nonpolar solutes) would be more soluble in the nonpolar CCl4 than in polar H2O, whereas water would be the better solvent for Na2SO4 and HCl (the ionic and polar covalent solutes
