Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Isopropyl alcohol as a solvent is polar or non-polar is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The solubility of two substances dependents on the “like dissolves like” principle that means polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar solvents. The water-soluble compounds are hydrophilic and water-insoluble compounds are hydrophobic.
(b)
Interpretation:
Pentane as a solvent is polar or non-polar is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The solubility of two substances dependents on the “like dissolves like” principle that means polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar solvents. The water-soluble compounds are hydrophilic and water-insoluble compounds are hydrophobic.
(c)
Interpretation:
Xylene as a solvent is polar or non-polar is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The solubility of two substances dependents on the “like dissolves like” principle that means polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar solvents. The water-soluble compounds are hydrophilic and water-insoluble compounds are hydrophobic.
(d)
Interpretation:
Trichloroethane as a solvent is polar or non-polar is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The solubility of two substances dependents on the “like dissolves like” principle that means polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar solvents. The water-soluble compounds are hydrophilic and water-insoluble compounds are hydrophobic.

- 6-38 Describe how we would prepare 250 mL of 0.10 M NaOH from solid NaOH and water.arrow_forwardThe volume required from (12N) HCl to prepare dilute solution(0.6 N), (100ml) isarrow_forwardHow many liters of HCI gas, measured at 30.0 C and 745 torr, are required to prepare 1.25 L of a 3.20-M solution of hydrochloric acid?arrow_forward
- 6-111 As noted in Section 6-8C, the amount of external pressure that must be applied to a more concentrated solution to stop the passage of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane is known as the osmotic pressure The osmotic pressure obeys a law similar in form to the ideal gas law (discussed in Section 5-4), where Substituting for pressure and solving for osmotic pressures gives the following equation: RT MRT, where M is the concentration or molarity of the solution. (a) Determine the osmotic pressure at 25°C of a 0.0020 M sucrose (C12H22O11) solution. (b) Seawater contains 3.4 g of salts for every liter of solution. Assuming the solute consists entirely of NaCl (and complete dissociation of the NaCI salt), calculate the osmotic pressure of seawater at 25°C. (c) The average osmotic pressure of blood is 7.7 atm at 25°C. What concentration of glucose (C6H12O6) will be isotonic with blood? (d) Lysozyme is an enzyme that breaks bacterial cell walls. A solution containing 0.150 g of this enzyme in 210. mL of solution has an osmotic pressure of 0.953 torr at 25°C. What is the molar mass of lysozyme? (e) The osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution of a certain protein was measured in order to determine the protein's molar mass. The solution contained 3.50 mg of protein dissolved in sufficient water to form 5.00 mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of the solution at 25°C was found to be 1.54 torr. Calculate the molar mass of the protein.arrow_forward6-60 Predict which of these covalent compounds is soluble in water. (a) C2H6 (b) CH3OH (c) HF (d) NH3 (e) CCI4arrow_forward6-53 Dioxin is considered to be poisonous in concentrations above 2 ppb. If a lake containing L has been contaminated by 0.1 g of dioxin, did the concentration reach a dangerous level?arrow_forward

(a) CH3OH (b) H2O (c) CH3CH2CH2CH3 (d) H2SO4arrow_forward6-103 A swimming pool containing 20,000. L of water is chlorinated to have a final CI2 concentration of 0.00500 M. What is the CI2 concentration in ppm? How many kilograms of CI2 were added to the swimming pool to reach this concentration?arrow_forwardPredict whether each of the following substances would be more soluble in water (polar solvent) or in a hydrocarbon such as heptane (C7H16, nonpolar solvent): (a) vegetable oil (nonpolar) (b) isopropyl alcohol (polar) (c) potassium bromide (ionic)arrow_forward
