(a)
Interpretation:
Whether a pure substance is an electrolyte or a nonelectrolyte should be determined experimentally.
Concept introduction:
A substance that has a fixed chemical composition through a cell is called pure substance.
(b)
Interpretation:
The cause for a cold glass of beer to go“flat” upon warming is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Two gases (nitrogen and carbon dioxide) are basically used to make beer. As the temperature increases solubility of the gas also decreases.
(c)
Interpretation:
The cause for the molality of a soluteto be ordinarily larger than its mole fraction is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Molality is a concentration unit based on number of moles of solute divided by kilogram of solvent.
(d)
Interpretation:
The cause for the boiling point to raise in the presence of a solute is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Temperature at which the vapor strain of liquid equal to environmental pressure surrounded by liquid is known as boiling point.

Chemistry: Principles and Reactions
- You want to prepare a 1.0 mol/kg solution of ethyleneglycol, C2H4(OH)2, in water. Calculate the mass of ethylene glycol you would need to mix with 950. g water.arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardLead poisoning has been a hazard for centuries. Some scholars believe that the decline of the Roman Empire can be traced, in part, to high levels of lead in water from containers and pipes, and from wine that was stored in leadglazed containers. If we presume that the typical Roman water supply was saturated with lead carbonate, PbCO3 (Ksp = 7.4 1014), how much lead will a Roman ingest in a year if he or she drinks 1 L/day from the container?arrow_forward
- Without consulting your textbook, list and explain the main postulates of the kinetic molecular theory for gases. How do these postulates help us account for the following bulk properties of a gas: the pressure of the gas and why the pressure of the gas increases with increased temperature; the fact that a gas tills its entire container; and the fact that the volume of a given sample of gas increases as its temperature is increased.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_forward
