An excess amount of Ba(NO3)2 was added to 2 liters of water at 25 oC until the solution is saturated. Because Ba(NO3)2 is only slightly soluble in water, the excess Ba(NO3)2 was filtered out to get a solid-free mixture. The proponents of the experiment thought about using the concept of colligative properties, specifically boiling point elevation, to determine Ksp. It was observed in their experiments that the solution boils at 100.15 deg C. Kb of water = 0.51 K-kg/mol. Barium nitrate dissociates using: Solve the ff: a) Amount of Ba(NO3)2 dissolved in grams. MW of Ba(NO3)2 = 261.3 g/molb) Solubility product, Kspc) Vapor pressure of the solution in kPa

A polymer of large molar mass is dissolved in the organic solvent m-cresol (C7H8O) at 25 °C, and the resulting solution rises to a final height of 13.4 cm above the level of the pure solvent, as solvent molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane into the solution. If the solution contains 5.24 g polymer per liter, calculate the molar mass of the polymer. Take the density of the solution to be 1.03 g cm-3.

C6H5Cl e C6H5Br form nearly ideal mixtures. At 136.7◦ C the vapor pressure of C6H5Cl is 1.137 bar, while that of C6H5Br is 0.604 bar. Which is the composition of the mixture for which the total vapor pressure is 1 bar ?
Water and 1-butanol are only partially miscible, so that when the two liquids are mixed, separate phases are formed. A mixture is prepared, in which the volumes of the aqueous and organic phases are equal. Ethanoic acid is then added to the mixture. The concentration in the aqueous phase is 0.094 mol dm-3 and in the organic phase 0.014 mol dm-3 . Additional solvent is then added such that the volume of the aqueous phase becomes double that of the organic phase. What are the new concentrations?
Osmotic pressures are often reported in units of atmospheres or mm Hg. The latter impliesthat the height of a column of liquid can be used as a measure of pressure. This is, in fact, thebasis of the torricellian barometer from which the units of “torr” come. The pressure, P, isrelated to the height of the column by:P = ρghwhere ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. Whatwill be the height (in mm) of a column of aqueous solution with a density of 0.9987 g/mL, if theosmotic pressure of the solution at 25 °C is 1.4 mm Hg? The density of mercury at thistemperature is 13.8 g/mL
L-Serine is an amino acid important for its roles in synthesizing other amino acids and for its use in intravenous feeding solutions. It is often synthesized commercially by fermentation, and recovered by subjecting the fermentation broth to several processing steps and then crystallizing the serine from an aqueous solution. The solubilities of L-serine (L-Ser) in water have been measured at several temperatures, producing the following data:5T(K) 283.4 285.9 289.3 299.1 316.0 317.8 322.9 327.1x(mole fraction L-Ser) 0.0400 0.0426 0.0523 0.0702 0.1091 0.1144 0.1181 0.1248One of the ways such data can be represented is with the van’t Hoff equation: ln x =( a=T b).Graph the data so that the resulting plot is linear. Estimate a and b and give their units.
