In the 1986 Lake Nyos disaster (see the chapter introduction), an estimated 90 billion kilograms of CO2 was dissolved in the lake at the time. (a) What volume of gas is this at standard temperature and pressure? (b) Assuming that this dissolved gas was in equilibrium with the normal partial pressure of CO2 in the atmosphere (0.038%, or 0.29 torr), use the Henrys law constant for CO2 in water to estimate the volume of Lake Nyos.
Predict the relative solubility of each compound in the two solvents, on the basis of intermolecular attractions. (a) Is NaCl more soluble in water or in carbon tetrachloride? (b) Is I2 more soluble in water or in toluene (C6H5CH3)? (c) Is ethanol (C2H5OH) more soluble in hexane or in water? (d) Is ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH) more soluble in ethanol or in benzene (C6H6)?
6-111 As noted in Section 6-8C, the amount of external pressure that must be applied to a more concentrated solution to stop the passage of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane is known as the osmotic pressure The osmotic pressure obeys a law similar in form to the ideal gas law (discussed in Section 5-4), where Substituting for pressure and solving for osmotic pressures gives the following equation: RT MRT, where M is the concentration or molarity of the solution. (a) Determine the osmotic pressure at 25°C of a 0.0020 M sucrose (C12H22O11) solution. (b) Seawater contains 3.4 g of salts for every liter of solution. Assuming the solute consists entirely of NaCl (and complete dissociation of the NaCI salt), calculate the osmotic pressure of seawater at 25°C. (c) The average osmotic pressure of blood is 7.7 atm at 25°C. What concentration of glucose (C6H12O6) will be isotonic with blood? (d) Lysozyme is an enzyme that breaks bacterial cell walls. A solution containing 0.150 g of this enzyme in 210. mL of solution has an osmotic pressure of 0.953 torr at 25°C. What is the molar mass of lysozyme? (e) The osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution of a certain protein was measured in order to determine the protein's molar mass. The solution contained 3.50 mg of protein dissolved in sufficient water to form 5.00 mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of the solution at 25°C was found to be 1.54 torr. Calculate the molar mass of the protein.
Calculate the mole fraction of each solute and solvent: (a) 583 g of H2SO4 in 1.50 kg of water—the acid solution used in an automobile battery (b) 0.86 g of NaCl in 1.00102 g of water—a solution of sodium chloride for intravenous injection (c) 46.85 g of codeine, C18H21NO3, in 125.5 g of ethanol, C2H5OH (d) 25 g of I2 in 125 g of ethanol, C2H5OH
Predict the relative solubility of each compound in the two solvents, on the basis of intermolecular attractions. (a) Is Br2 more soluble in water or in carbon tetrachloride?

Samples of each of the substances listed below are dissolved in 125 g of water. Which of the solutions has the highest boiling point? (a) 3.0 g sucrose, C12H22O11 (b) 1.0 g glycerol, C3H3(OH)3 (c) 1.0 g propylene glycol, C3H6(OH)2 (d) 2.0 g glucose, C6H12(OH)2
Indicate which of the following is more soluble in ethanol, C2H5OH: acetic acid, CH3COOH, or stearic acid, C17H35COOH.
Once again, consider Fig. 10-9. Suppose instead of having a nonvolatile solute in the solvent in one beaker, the two beakers contain different volatile liquids. That is, suppose one beaker contains liquid A (Pvap = 50 torr) and the other beaker contains liquid B (Pvap = 100 torr). Explain what happens as time passes. How is this similar to the first case (shown in the figure)? How is it different?
