Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important greenhouse gas with a Henry volatility constant of -4 3.3x10 mol/m3/Pa at 25°C. The enthalpy of dissolution is 2400 K. Two hundred years ago, the atmospheric CO2 level was 0.025%. Today's CO2 level is 0.04%. The average temperature in New York City (NYC) and Georgetown is 13°C and 27°C, respectively. Given the CO2 level today, what is the difference in aqueous concentration of CO2 in a river in NYC and Georgetown? Give your answer in mg/L.

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.

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.

using a calibrated solution calorimeter measured a temperature decrease of 1.10 K when 1.00 g of KNO3 was added to 74.40 g of deionized water in the calorimeter. The specific heat capacity of the solution calorimeter was found to be 4.15 J/gK. Calculate the experimental value of the molar heat of solution of KNO3, ΔHsoln.

A student investigates the enthalpy of solution, ΔHsoln, for two alkali metal halides, KCl and RbCl. Inaddition to the salts, the students has access to a calorimeter, a balance with a precision of ±0.1 g,and a thermometer with a precision of ±0.1°C.a. To measure ΔHsoln for KCl, the student adds 100.0 g of water initially at 25.0°C to acalorimeter and adds 20.0 g of KCl(s), stirring to dissolve.

It is desired to determine the molecular weight of an organic compound known to be volatile. For this, a glass balloon with a full volume of 152 mL is weighed and the weighing result is recorded as 215 g. Then, the organic compound that is desired to have some molecular weight in liquid form is added into the balloon and evaporated in a water bath until dryness. After the steam temperature is measured as 90 °C, the balloon is left to cool and the organic compound in the balloon condenses again. The balloon is then weighed again and recorded as 215,367g. Find the molecular weight of this organic compound since the pressure of the environment where the experiment is performed is 700 mmHg.
