Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) has a solubility of 38.9 g/ 100 g H2O at 30C. A solution is prepared by adding 9.50 g of MgSO4 to 25.0 g of water at 40C. A homogeneous mixture is obtained. Is the solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated? One gram of magnesium sulfate is added to the solution cooled to 30C. Would you expect some of the MgSO4 to precipitate? If so, how much? If not, how much more MgSO4 can be added before precipitation takes place?
Nitrogen, N2, is soluble in blood and can cause intoxication at sufficient concentration. For this reason, the U.S. Navy advises divers using compressed air not to go below 125 feet. The total pressure at this depth is 4.79 atm. If the solubility of nitrogen at 1.00 atm is 1.75 x 10-3 g/100 mL of water, and the mole percent of nitrogen in air is 78.1, what is the solubility of nitrogen in water from air at 4.79 atm?

A student dissolves 12.5g of lithium chloride LiCl in 250.g of water in a well-insulated open cup. She then observes the temperature of the water rise from 23.0°C to 32.6°C over the course of 3.3 minutes. Use this data, and any information you need from the ALEKS Dataresource, to answer the questions below about this reaction: →LiCls + Li+aq Cl−aq You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible the student did not do the experiment carefully, and the values you calculate may not be the same as the known and published values for this reaction. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither? If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in this case. kJ Calculate the…
In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 1.60 g of NH4NO3 is mixed with 75.0 g of water at an initial temperature of 25.00°C. After dissolution of the salt, the final temperature of the calorimeter contents is 23.34°C. (molar mass of NH4NO3 = 80.043 g/mol) (Density of water = 1.00 g/mL) Was the dissolution process exothermic or endothermic? Assuming the solution has a heat capacity of 4.18 J/°C-g and assuming no heat loss to the calorimeter, calculate the enthalpy change (ΔHsoln) for the dissolution of NH4NO3 (remember the appropriate units forΔHsoln and pay attention to your signs)
