Heptane and octone form ideal solution. At 373 K, the vapour pressure of the two liquid components are 105.2 K Pa and 46.8 K Pa respectively. If the solution contains 25 g of heptane and 25 g of octane, calculate : Vapour pressure exerted by hepthne Vapour pressure exerted by octane Vapour pressure exerted bythe solution Mole fraction octane in the vapour phase.

Answer» `"No. of moles of heptane" (n_(B))=("Mass of heptane"(C_(7)H_(16)))/("Gram molar mass")=((25g))/((100 g mol^(-1)))=0.25 mol`
`"No. of moles of cotanae" (n_(A))=("Mass of heptane"(C_(8)H_(18)))/("Gram molar mass")=((35g))/((114 g mol^(-1)))=0.307 mol`
`"Molar fraction of hepthane" (x_(B))=n_(B)/(n_(B)+n_(A))=((0.25 mol))/((0.25 mol+0.307 mol))=0.449`
`"Molar fraction of octane" (x_(A))=n_(A)/(n_(B)+n_(A))=((0.307 mol))/((0.25 mol+0.307 mol))=0.551`
`"Vapour pressure of pure heptane" (P_(B)^(@))=105.2 kPa`
`"Vapour pressure of pure octane" (P_(A)^(@)) = 46.8 kPa`
` (i) "Vapour pressure of heptane" (P_(B)^(@))=P_(B)^(@)x_(B)=(105.2 kPaxx0.449)47.23 kPa`
` (ii) "Vapour pressure of octane" (P_(A))=P_(A)^(@)x_(A)= (47.23+25.79=73.02 kPa)`
`(iii) "Total vapour pressure of solution "(P)=P_(A)+P_(B)=(47.23+25.79)=73.02 kPa`
(iv)"mole fraction of octane in the vapour phse"= `P_(A)/(P_(A)+P_(B))=((25.79K Pa))/((73.02 K Pa))= 0.353`

Why do gases always tend to be less soluble in liquids as the temperature is raised?

Answer» The dissolution of a gas in a liquid is exothermic in nature because the gas contracts in volume.
`"Gas" + "Liquid" hArr "Dissolved gas" DeltaH=-ve`
An increase in tmperature will facour the reverse process since it is of endthermic nature. Therefore, the solubility of the gas in solution decreases with the rise in tmeperature.

One liter of aqueus solution of suctrose `("molar mass"=324 g mol^(-1))` Weighing 1015 g is found g is foung to record an osmotic pressure of 4.82 atm at 293 K. What is the molality of the solution ?

Answer» Calculation of number of moles of solute.
`pi(nRT)/V or n=(piV)/(RT)`
`pi=4.82 atm, V=1L, R=0.0821 L atm K^(-1) mol^(-1),T=293 K`
`n=((4.82 atm)xx(1L))/((0.0821 L atm K^(-1)mol^(-1))xx(293K))=0.2 mol.`
Calculation of the molality of solution.
Mass of solute (sucrose)=`(0.2mol)xx(342 g mol^(-1))=68.4 g`
Mass of solution=1015 g
Mass of solvent(water)=1015-68.4=946.6 g =0.9466 kg
Molality of solution (m)= `(Mass of glucose//Gram molar mass)/(Mass of solvent in kg)
=((68.4g))/((342g mol^(-1)xx(0.9466 kg))=0.2113 mol//kg)= 0.2113 m`

Answer»

Given : 

Amount of cane sugar = W = 18 g L-1 

Osmotic pressure = π = 1.25 atm 

Molar mass of cane sugar = M = 342 g mol-1

Temperature = T = ? 

Number of moles of cane sugar

\(\frac{W}{M}\)

\(\frac{18}{342}\)

∴ Concentration of solution = C

\(\frac{n}{V}\)

\(\frac{0.05263}{1}\)

= 0.05263 mol lit-1

π = CRT

∴ T = \(\frac{\pi}{CR}\)

Sodium chloride solution freezes at lower temperature then water but boils at higher temperature than water. Explain.

Answer» The freezing point of a liquid depresses on the addition of a non-volatile solute, and therefore, a solution of sodium chloride freezes at a temperature lower than the freezing point of water. On the other hand, there is elevation of boiling point on the addition of a non-volatile solute and consequently the boiling point of sodium chloride solution is more then that of water.

Calculate the boiling point of a solution of `18.2 g` DDT `(C_(14)H_(9)Cl_(5))`, a nonvolatile, non electrolytes substance, in 342 g of chloroform, `CHCl_(3). K_(b)` for `CHCl_(3)` is `3.63 Kkgmol^(-1)` and boiling point `(bp)` is `334.9 K`. Strategy: First find the increase in boiling point form the relationship. `DeltaT_(b)=K_(b)m`. The boiling point of solution is bigger by this amount than the normal boiling point of pure `CHCl_(3)`.

Answer» Calculate the molality of DDT in the solution
The molecular mass of DDT is `354.5 u`. Therefore
`n_(DDT)=(mass_(DDT))/(molar mass_(DDT))`
`=(18.2 g)/(354.5 g mol^(-1))=0.0513 mol`
The molality is given by
`m=n_(DDT)/g_(solv)xx(1000 g)/(kg)`
`=(0.051 mol DDT)/(342 g CHCl_(3))xx(1000 g)/(kg)`
`=0.149 mol Kg^(-1)`
Step 2. Calculate the boiling point elevation of chloroform that is caused by the addition of `18.2 g DDT`.
Use the molality calculated here and the value of `K_(b)` for `CHCl_(3)` into equation `(2.64)`
`DeltaT_(b)=K_(b)m`
`=(3.63 KKg mol^(-1))(0.149 mol Kg^(-1))`
`=0.54 K`
Step 3. Calculate the boiling point for the `CHCl_(3)` in the solution. The boiling point of pure `CHCl_(3)` is raised by `DeltaT_(b)` in this solution.
`DeltaT_(b)=T_(b)-T_(b)^(0)`
or `T_(b)=T_(b)^(0)+DeltaT_(b)`
`=(334.9 K)+(0.54 K)`
`=335.4 K`

Answer» The given values are:
`W_(B) = 12 g`,`W_(A) = 52 g`
`DeltaT_(b) = 0.4 K`
Using the formula,
`Mw_(B) = (K_(b) xx W_(B) xx 1000) / (DeltaT_(b) xx W_(A))`
`:. Mw_(B) = (0.52 xx 12xx 1000) /(0.4 xx 52 ) = 300`
Molecular weight of solute is `300 g mol^(-1)`.
1033.

A solution of 12.5 g of an unknown solute in 170 g water gave a boiling point elevation of 0.63 K. Calculate the molar mass of the solute. `(K_(b)=0.53 K kg mol^(-1))`.

`W_(B)=12.5g, W_(A)=0.170 kg, DeltaT_(b)=0.63 K, K_(b)=0.53" K kg mol"^(-1), M_(B)=?`
`M_(B)=(K_(b)xxW_(B))/(DeltaT_(b)xxW_(A))=((0.53" K kg mol"^(-1))(12.5g))/((0.63 K)xx(0.170 kg))=61.85" g mol"^(-1)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
The elevation of nonvolatile point produced by dissolving `1 mol` of any nonvolatile solute, which does not dissociate or associate, in `1 kg` of a particular solvent is known as the ebillioscopic constant for that solvent. It is the ratio of the elevation in `BP` to molality, i.e., `K_(b)=DeltaT_(b)//m`
Thus, the units of `K_(b)` are `.^(@)C//m` or `K//m` or `KKg mol^(-1)`.

One molal solution of a given solvent is always less concentrated than one molar solution. Explain.

Answer»

In one molar solution one gram mole of solute is dissolved in one litre of solution while in case of one molal solution same one gram mole of solute is dissolved in 1000 gm of solvent only, which on considering normal density parameters of water, can’t be lesser in amount than solvent part present in one litre solution. Therefore,more amount of solvent is present in one molal solution than in one molar solution.

1040.

When a non-volatile solute is added to solvent,there is increase in boiling point of solution. Explain.

Answer»

When a non-volatile solute is added to a volatile solvent the vapour pressure of pure solvent decreases because a part of the surface is occupied by non-volatile solute which can’t volatilise. As a result, the vapour pressure of solution decreases and hence, the solution requires a comparatively higher temperature to boil causing an elevation of boiling point.

What is the effect on the boiling point of water if 1 mole of methyl alcohol is added to 1 dm3 of water? Why?

Answer»
  • The boiling point of water (or any liquid) depends on its vapour pressure. 
  • Higher the vapour pressure, lower is the boiling point. 
  • When 1 mole of volatile methyl alcohol is added to 1 dm3 of water, its vapour pressure is increased decreasing the boiling point of water.

Which of the four colligative properties is most often used for molecular mass determination? Why?

Answer»

1. Since osmotic pressure has large values, it can be measured more precisely. 

2. The osmotic pressure can be measured at a suitable constant temperature. 

3. The molecular masses can be measured more accurately. 

4. Therefore, it is more useful to determine molecular masses of expensive substances by osmotic pressure.
