| 1. | Explain why a
nonvolatile solute dissolved in water makes the system have a higher
boiling point
then pure water. |
| 2. | Calculate
what the boiling point would be of 2.00 m sugar in water. |
| 3. | Glycerol, C3H8O3,
(formula weight 92) , is essentially a nonvolatile liquid that is very
soluble in water. A solution is made by dissolving 46.0 g of
glycerol
in 250 g of water. Calculate the boiling point of the solution at
an atmospheric pressure of 1 atm. |
| 4. | A solution of
14 g of an unknown (molecular) compound in 1 kg of benzene boiled at
81.7oC. Calculate the formula weight of the unknown. |
| 5. | The action of
hot concentrated nitric acid (dissolved in sulfuric acid) on benzene
produces nitrobenzene, C6H5NO2, as the
chief product. A by-product is often obtained, which
consists of 42.86% C, 2.40% H, and 16.67% N with
the remainder being oxygen. a) Calculate the empirical formula of the formula of this by-product. b) The boiling point of a solution of 5.5 g of this by-product in 45 g of benzene was 1.84oC higher than that of pure benzene. Calculate a formula weight based on the above data, and determine the actual molecular formula for the compound. |
