8.52 Rank the following hydrocarbons in order of increasing vapor pressure: C2H6,C10H22,CH4,C7H16,C22H46 .
A solution of benzoic acid in benzene has a freezing point of 3.1 C and a boiling point of 82.6 C. (The freezing point of pure benzene is 5.50 C, and its boiling point is 80.1 C) The structure of benzoic acid is Benzoic acid, C6H5CO2H What can you conclude about the state of the benzoic acid molecules at the two different temperatures? Recall the discussion of hydrogen bonding in Section 11.3.
The molecular mass of butanol, C4H9OH, is 74.14; that of ethylene glycol, CH2(OH)CH2OH, is 62.08, yet their boiling points are 117.2 C and 174 C, respectively. Explain the reason for the difference.
Describe, on both a microscopic and a macroscopic basis, what happens to a sample of water as it is cooled from room temperture to 50Cbelow its normal freezing point.
The sugar fructose contains 40.0% C, 6.7% H, and 53.3% O by mass. A solution of 11.7 g of fructose in 325 g of ethanol has a boiling point of 78.59 C. The boiling point of ethanol is 78.35 C, and Kb for ethanol is 1.20 C/m . What is the molecular formula of fructose?
In some regions of the southwest United States, the water is very hard. For example, in Las Cruces, New Mexico, the tap water contains about 560 g of dissolved solids per milliliter. Reverse osmosis units are marketed in this area to soften water. A typical unit exerts a pressure of 8.0 atm and can produce 45 L water per day. a. Assuming all of the dissolved solids are MgCO3 and assuming a temperature of 27C, what total volume of water must be processed to produce 45 L pure water? b. Would the same system work for purifying seawater? (Assume seawater is 0.60 M NaCl.)
Acetone, CH3COCH3, is a common laboratory solvent. It is usually contaminated with water, however. Why does acetone absorb water so readily? Draw molecular structures showing how water and acetone can interact. What intermolecular force(s) is(are) involved in the interaction?
