Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The molality of para-dichlorobenzene in a solution needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Mass percent of any species in the solution can be calculated from its mass and mass of the solution. For example, if mass of the species is x and that of solution is y, the mass percent of the solution can be calculated as follows:
The molality of solution is defined as number of moles of solute in 1 kg of the solvent. Thus,
The density of the solution is related to mass and volume of solution as follows:
The number of moles of substance can be calculated from mass and molar mass as follows:
Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.

- Calculate the molality of a solution made by dissolving 115.0 g ethylene glycol, HOCH2CH2OH, in 500. mL water. The density of water at this temperature is 0.978 g/mL. Calculate the molarity of the solution.arrow_forwardA solution is made by dissolving 0.455 g of PbBr2 in 100 g of H2O at 50C. Based on the data in Table 8-1, should this solution be characterized as a. saturated or unsaturated b. dilute or concentratedarrow_forwardHydrochloric acid is sold as a concentrated aqueous solution. If the concentration of commercial HCl is 12.0 M and its density is 1.18 g/cm3, calculate the following: (a) the molality of the solution (b) the weight percent of HCl in the solutionarrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardInsulin 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_forwardAssume that 30 L of maple sap yields one kilogram of maple syrup (66% sucrose, C12H22O11). What is the molality of the sucrose solution after one fourth of the water content of the sap has been removed?arrow_forward
- How do colloids differ from solutions with regard to dispersed particle size and homogeneity?arrow_forwardThe osmotic pressure of a solution containing 7.0 g of insulin per liter is 23 torr at 25 C. What is the molar mass of insulin?arrow_forwardPredict the relative solubility of each compound in the two solvents, on the basis of intermolecular attractions. (a) Is NaCl more soluble in water or in carbon tetrachloride? (b) Is I2 more soluble in water or in toluene (C6H5CH3)? (c) Is ethanol (C2H5OH) more soluble in hexane or in water?
