Concept explainers
The small bubbles that form on the bottom of a water pot that is being heated (before boiling) are due to dissolved air coming out of solution. Use Henry's law and the solubilities given to calculate the total volume of nitrogen and oxygen gas that should bubble out of 1.5 L of water upon warming from 25°C to 50°C. Assume that the water is initially saturated with nitrogen and oxygen gas at 25°C and a total pressure of 1.0 atm. Assume that the gas bubbles out at a temperature of 50°C. The solubility of oxygen gas at 50°C is 27.8 mg/L at an oxygen pressure of 1.00 atm. The solubility of nitrogen gas at 50°C is 14.6 mg/L at a nitrogen pressure of 1.00 atm. Assume that the air above the water contains an oxygen partial pressure of 0.21 atm and a nitrogen partial pressure of 0.78 atm.

Consider an equimolar solution of CCl4 and C6H6 at 25C. The vapor above the solution is collected and condensed. Using the following data, determine the composition in mole fraction of the condensed vapor. Substance Gfo C6H6(l) 124.50 kJ/mol C6H6(g) 129.66 kJ/mol CCI4(l) 65.21 kJ/mol CCI4,(g) 60.59 kJ/molarrow_forwardSome lithium chloride, LiCl, is dissolved in 100 mL of water in one beaker, and some Li2SO4 is dissolved in 100 mL of water in another beaker. Both are at 10 C, and both are saturated solutions; some solid remains undissolved in each beaker. Describe what you would observe as the temperature is raised.
