- Insulin is a hormone responsible for the regulation of glucose levels in the blood. An aqueous solution of insulin has an osmotic pressure of 2.5 mm Hg at 25C. It is prepared by dissolving 0.100 g of insulin in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. What is the molar mass of insulin?arrow_forwardCalculate the molality of each of the following solutions: (a) 583 g of H2SO4 in 1.50 kg of water—the acid solution used in an automobile battery (b) 0.86 g of NaCI 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, C2H5OHarrow_forwardConsider three test tubes. Tube A has pure water. Tube B has an aqueous 1.0 m solution of ethanol, C2H5OH. Tube C has an aqueous 1.0 m solution of NaCl. Which of the following statements are true? (Assume that for these solutions 1.0m=1.0M.) (a) The vapor pressure of the solvent over tube A is greater than the solvent pressure over tube B. (b) The freezing point of the solution in tube B is higher than the freezing point of the solution in tube A. (c) The freezing point of the solution in tube B is higher than the freezing point of the solution in tube C. (d) The boiling point of the solution in tube B is higher than the boiling point of the solution in tube C.

- The organic salt [(C4H9)4N][ClO4] consists of the ions (C4H9)4N+ and ClO4. The salt dissolves in chloroform. What mass (in grams) of the salt must have been dissolved if the boiling point of a solution of the salt in 25.0 g chloroform is 63.20 C? The normal boiling point of chloroform is 61.70 C and Kb = 3.63 C kg mol1. Assume that the salt dissociates completely into its ions in solution.arrow_forwardSodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used to melt ice on roads during the winter. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for this purpose too. Let us compare the effectiveness of equal masses of these two compounds in lowering the freezing point of water, by calculating the freezing point depression of solutions containing 200. g of each salt in 1.00 kg of water. (An advantage of CaCl2 is that it acts more quickly because it is hygroscopic, that is. it absorbs moisture from the air to give a solution and begin the process. A disadvantage is that this compound is more costly.)arrow_forwardCalcium chloride, CaCl2, has been used to melt ice from roadways. Given that the saturated solution is 32% CaCl2 by mass, estimate the freezing point.arrow_forward
