Step by step solution

01

a. Preparation of 2.0 m KCl in water

To prepare a 2.0 molar (M) solution of KCl in water, we need to first determine the volume of water needed to dissolve KCl. Since we need at least 100 mL of the solution, we can use the molar concentration formula: \[C = \frac{n}{V}\] Here, \(C\) is the concentration (2.0 M), \(n\) is the moles of KCl, and \(V\) is the volume of the solution (100 mL in this case). Rearranging the formula to solve for \(n\): \[n = C \times V\] Next, plug in the values and solve for \(n\): \[n = 2.0 \, \text{M} \times 100 \, \text{mL} = 0.2 \, \text{moles KCl}\] Now, we need to convert moles of KCl to mass. Use the molar mass of KCl: \[m = n \times M_{\text{molar}}\] Here, \(m\) is the mass of KCl, and \(M_{\text{molar}}\) is the molar mass of KCl (74.55 g/mol). Plug in the values and solve for the mass: \[m = 0.2 \, \text{moles KCl} \times 74.55 \, \text{g/mol} = 14.91 \, \text{g KCl}\] Finally, weigh out 14.91g of KCl, dissolve it in water, and add water until the total volume of the solution reaches 100 mL.

b. Preparation of 15% NaOH by mass in water

To prepare 100 mL of a 15% NaOH by mass in water, we need to calculate the mass of the NaOH to be used. Since the density of this solution is 1.00 g/cm³, we can convert the volume to mass using the formula: \[m = V \times d\] Here, \(V\) is the volume of the solution (100 mL) and \(d\) is the density (1.00 g/cm³). Convert the volume to mass: \[m = 100 \, \text{mL} \times 1.00 \, \text{g/cm}^3 = 100 \, \text{g}\] To calculate the mass of NaOH required, multiply this mass by the percentage (15%): \[m_{NaOH} = 100 \, \text{g} \times 0.15 = 15 \, \text{g}\] Weigh out 15 g of NaOH, dissolve it in water, and add water until the total mass of the solution reaches 100 g.
03

c. Preparation of 25% NaOH by mass in CH3OH

To prepare 100 mL of a 25% NaOH by mass in CH3OH, we will follow a similar approach as part (b). First, convert the volume of the solution to mass using the formula \(m = V \times d\). In this case, the density is 0.79 g/cm³: \[m = 100 \, \text{mL} \times 0.79 \, \text{g/cm}^3 = 79 \, \text{g}\] Next, calculate the mass of NaOH required by multiplying this mass by the percentage (25%): \[m_{NaOH} = 79 \, \text{g} \times 0.25 = 19.75 \, \text{g}\] Weigh out 19.75 g of NaOH, dissolve it in CH3OH, and add CH3OH until the total mass of the solution reaches 79 g.

d. Preparation of 0.10 mole fraction of C6H12O6 in water

To prepare a solution containing 0.10 mole fraction of C6H12O6 (glucose) in water, we first need to calculate the moles of glucose and water: Let \(n_G\) and \(n_W\) be the moles of glucose and water, respectively. Based on the mole fraction formula, we have: \[\chi_G = \frac{n_G}{n_G + n_W}\] Rearranging the above equation, we get: \[n_W = \frac{n_G (1 - \chi_G)}{\chi_G}\] Given that the mole fraction of glucose (\(\chi_G\)) is 0.10, we get: \[n_W = \frac{n_G (1 - 0.10)}{0.10}\] Now, we can set an arbitrary number of moles for glucose (let's say, 0.1 mole) and use the above equation to calculate the moles of water: \[\begin{aligned} n_W & = \frac{0.1 \, \text{mole} \times (1 - 0.10)}{0.10} \\ & = 0.9 \, \text{mole} \end{aligned}\] Now, convert moles of glucose and water to mass using their molar masses: \[\begin{aligned} m_G & = n_G \times M_{G} \\ m_W & = n_W \times M_{W} \end{aligned}\] Here, \(M_G\) and \(M_W\) are the molar masses of glucose (180.16 g/mol) and water (18.02 g/mol), respectively. Calculate the masses: \[\begin{aligned} m_G & = 0.1 \, \text{mole} \times 180.16 \, \text{g/mol} = 18.02 \, \text{g} \\ m_W & = 0.9 \, \text{mole} \times 18.02 \, \text{g/mol} = 16.22 \, \text{g} \end{aligned}\] Finally, weigh out 18.02 g of glucose, dissolve it in 16.22 g of water, and add water until the total mass of the solution reaches the combined mass of glucose and water.

Consider the following:What would happen to the level of liquid in the two arms if the semipermeable membrane separating the two liquids were permeable to a. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) (the solvent) only? b. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) and solute?

A solution is prepared by mixing \(1.000\) mole of methanol \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\right)\) and \(3.18\) moles of propanol \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\right) .\) What is the composition of the vapor (in mole fractions) at \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ? At \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the vapor pressure of pure methanol is 303 torr, and the vapor pressure of pure propanol is \(44.6\) torr.

The weak electrolyte \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)\) does not obey Henry's law. Why? \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\) obeys Henry's law in water but not in blood (an aqueous solution). Why?

A \(0.15-\mathrm{g}\) sample of a purified protein is dissolved in water to give \(2.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of solution. The osmotic pressure is found to be \(18.6\) torr at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Calculate the protein's molar mass.

Plants that thrive in salt water must have internal solutions (inside the plant cells) that are isotonic with (have the same osmotic pressure as) the surrounding solution. A leaf of a saltwater plant is able to thrive in an aqueous salt solution (at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ) that has a freezing point equal to \(-0.621^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). You would like to use this information to calculate the osmotic pressure of the solution in the cell. a. In order to use the freezing-point depression to calculate osmotic pressure, what assumption must you make (in addition to ideal behavior of the solutions, which we will assume)? b. Under what conditions is the assumption (in part a) reasonable? c. Solve for the osmotic pressure (at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ) of the solution in the plant cell. d. The plant leaf is placed in an aqueous salt solution (at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ) that has a boiling point of \(102.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What will happen to the plant cells in the leaf?
