When water is added to a mixture of aluminum metal and sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas is produced. This is the reaction used in commercial drain cleaners: 2Al(s)+6H2O(l)+2OH(aq)2Al(OH)4(aq)+3H2(g)A sufficient amount of water is added to 49.92 g of NaOH to make 0.600 L of solution; 41.28 g of Al is added to this solution and hydrogen gas is formed. (a) Calculate the molarity of the initial NaOH solution. (b) How many moles of hydrogen were formed? (c) The hydrogen was collected over water at 25C and 758.6 mm Hg. The vapor pressure of water at this temperature is 23.8 mm Hg. What volume of hydrogen was generated?
It is possible to balance a paper clip on the surface of water in a beaker. lf you add a bit of soap to the water, however, the paper clip sinks. Explain how the paper clip can float and why it sinks when soap is added.
How do colloids differ from solutions with regard to dispersed particle size and homogeneity?
What is the microscopic explanation for the macroscopic behaviour illustrated in Figure 11.15?
Solutions of hydrogen in palladium may be formed by exposing Pd metal to H2 gas. The concentration of hydrogen in the palladium depends on the pressure of H2 gas applied, but in a more complex fashion than can be described by Henry's law. Under certain conditions, 0.94 g of hydrogen gas is dissolved in 215 g of palladium metal (solution density = 10.8 g cm3). (a) Determine the molarity of this solution. (b) Determine the molality of this solution. (c) Determine the percent by mass of hydrogen atoms in this solution.
Caffeine is made up of 49.5% C, 5.2% H, 16.5% O, and 28.9% N. A solution made up of 8.25 g of caffeine and 100.0 mL of benzene (d=0.877g/mL) freezes at 3.03C. Pure benzene (k f =5.10C/m) freezes at 5.500C. What are the simplest and molecular formulas for caffeine?
The mercury content of a stream was believed to be above the minimum considered safe —1 part per billion (ppb) by weight. An analysis indicated that the concentration was 0.68 parts per billion. What quantity of mercury in grams was present in 15.0 L of the water, the density of which is 0.998 g/ml? ( 1ppbHg=1ngHg1gwater)

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.)
