Menthol is a crystalline substance with a peppermint taste and odor. When 1.18 g of menthol is dissolved in 25.0 g of cyclohexane, the freezing point of the solution is lowered by 6.31 °C. Look up the freezing point and Kf constant for cyclohexane in the Colligative Constants table. Calculate the molar mass of menthol. molar mass: g/mol

Define the terms in Raoults law. Figure 10-9 illustrates the net transfer of water molecules from pure water to an aqueous solution of a nonvolatile solute. Explain why eventually all of the water from the beaker of pure water will transfer to the aqueous solution. If the experiment illustrated in Fig. 10-9 was performed using a volatile solute, what would happen? How do you calculate the total vapor pressure when both the solute and solvent are volatile?
Plants that thrive in salt water must have internal solutions (inside the plant cells) that are isotonic with (have the same osmotic pressure as) the surrounding solution. A leaf of a saltwater plant is able to thrive in an aqueous salt solution (at 25C) that has a freezing point equal to 0.62lC. You would like to use this information to calculate the osmotic pressure of the solution in the cell. a. In order to use the freezing-point depression to calculate osmotic pressure, what assumption must you make (in addition to ideal behavior of the solutions, which we will assume)? b. Under what conditions is the assumption (in part a) reasonable? c. Solve for the osmotic pressure (at 25C) of the solution in the plant cell. d. The plant leaf is placed in an aqueous salt solution (at 25C) that has a boiling point of l02.0C. What will happen to the plant cells in the leaf?
The dispersed phase of a certain colloidal dispersion consists of spheres of diameter 1.0 102 nm. (a) What are the volume (V=43r2) and surface area (A = r2) of each sphere? (b) How many spheres are required to give a total volume of 1.0 cm3? What is the total surface area of these spheres in square meters?
Using KF as an example, write equations that refer to Hsoln and Hhyd Lattice energy was defined in Chapter 3 as H for the reaction K+(g) + F (g) KF(s). Show how you would utilize Hesss law to calculate Hso1n from Hhyd and HLE for KF, where HLE = lattice energy. Hsoln for KF, as for other soluble ionic compounds, is a relatively small number. How can this be since Hhyd and HLE are relatively large negative numbers?
Water at 25 C has a density of 0.997 g/cm3. Calculate the molality and molarity of pure water at this temperature.
A gaseous solute dissolves in water. The solution process has H=15 kJ. Its solubility at 22C and 6.00 atm is 0.0300 M. Would you expect the solubility to be greater or less at (a) 22C and 1 atm? (a) 18C and 6 atm? (a) 15C and 10 atm? (a) 35C and 3 atm?
