question
Beer, an alcoholic beverage, is a solution composed primarily of water with an ethanol content of about 7%. Identify the solute and the solvent in beer.
answer
Water is the solvent, and ethanol is the solute.
question
For each of the following molecules, would you expect greater solubility in water or in hexane?
answer
Greater solubility in hexane: toluene and isobutene. Greater solubility in water: sucrose and glycol. Polar solutes are more soluble in polar solvents (i.e., water), and nonpolar solutes are more soluble in nonpolar solvents (i.e., hexane). This is the basis of the rule of thumb that "like dissolves like."
question
Indicate the kinds of intermolecular forces that would occur between the toluene and hexane:
answer
dispersion. There are dispersion forces between toluene and hexane. These intermolecular interactions are the result of fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. Since the electrons in an atom or molecule may be unevenly distributed at any one instant, dispersion forces are present in all molecules and atoms. These forces increase in strength as molar mass increases because atoms or molecules with larger molar masses tend to have more electrons dispersed over a greater volume. No hydrogen-bonding, dipole-dipole, or ion-dipole intermolecular forces are present because neither toluene nor hexane contain any of the following: A hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative element such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. Permanent dipoles. They do not exist in either hydrocarbon because only C−C, C=C, and C−H bonds exist, which do not have significant electronegativity differences between the atoms involved. Ionic bonds.
question
Indicate the kinds of intermolecular forces that would occur between the sucrose and water?
answer
hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, and dispersion. There are dispersion forces between sucrose and water. These intermolecular interactions are the result of fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. Since the electrons in an atom or molecule may be unevenly distributed at any one instant, dispersion forces are present in all molecules and atoms. These forces increase in strength as molar mass increases because atoms or molecules with larger molar masses tend to have more electrons dispersed over a greater volume. There are also dipole-dipole intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonding taking place between sucrose and water because both molecules contain O−H bonds. Hydrogen bonding simply requires a hydrogen atom directly bonded to a small electronegative atom (i.e., oxygen), and there is a permanent dipole across the O−H bond because the atoms have significantly different electronegativities. Neither water nor sucrose are in the form of ions, so no ion-dipole interactions occur.

Indicate the kinds of intermolecular forces that would occur between the ethylene glycol and water?
answer
hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, and dispersion. There are dispersion forces between ethylene glycol and water. These intermolecular interactions are the result of fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. Since the electrons in an atom or molecule may be unevenly distributed at any one instant, dispersion forces are present in all molecules and atoms.

question
Identify the type of interactions involved in each of the following processes taking place during the dissolution of sodium chloride (NaCl) in water. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.
answer
Solvent-solvent interactions: interactions involving dipole-dipole attractions and interactions between the water molecules. Solute-solute interactions: interactions between the ions of sodium chloride and interactions involving ion-ion attractions. Solute-solvent interactions: interactions formed between the sodium ions and the oxygen atoms of water molecules and interactions formed between the chloride ions and the hydrogen atoms of water molecules. Correct! Explanation: The process of dissolution depends upon the separation of solute particles, the separation of solvent molecules, and the formation of the attractive interaction between the solute particles and the solvent molecules. The separation of solute particles (ΔH1) and the separation of solvent molecules (ΔH2) are endothermic process whereas the formation of the attractive interaction (ΔH3) is an exothermic process. Here, ΔH is the change in energy associated with each process. If the magnitude of ΔH3 is very large compared to ΔH1+ΔH2, then the process of dissolution occurs spontaneously and is exothermic. But if the magnitude of ΔH3 is very small compared to ΔH1+ΔH2, then the process of dissolution is endothermic and may occur depending upon the entropy change for the process. Specifically, the dissolution of NaCl is slightly endothermic. If you place several teaspoons of salt in a cup of water you can feel the glass getting cold.
question
Five different substances are given to you to be dissolved in water. Which substances are most likely to undergo dissolution in water? Check all that apply.
answer
***potassium fluoride, KF ***sodium iodide, NaI toluene, C7H8 ***lithium bromide, LiBr hexane, C6H14 Solution formation is favored by an increase in entropy. Unless solute-solute and solvent-solvent interaction are strong relative to solute-solvent interactions, a solution will form when an ionic substance is added to water. For a nonpolar substance, the solute-solvent interactions are weak relative to solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions and, therefore, it will not form a solution in water.
question
The following substances dissolve when added to water. Classify the substances according to the strongest solute-solvent interaction that will occur between the given substances and water during dissolution. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. Not all bins may contain an item and some bins may contain multiple items.
answer
Dipole-dipole forces: HF and CH3OH. Ion-dipole forces: AlCl3 and MgI2. Correct! Both CH3OH and HF have a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom. Such compounds can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are a specific type of dipole-dipole attraction that is typically stronger.
question
Classify each process as an endothermic or exothermic process. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.
answer
Exothermic: forming solute-solvent attractions Endothermic: breaking solvent-solvent attractions and breaking solute-solute attractions
question
The enthalpy of solution for a solid with ΔH values of approximately equal magnitude for each of the steps involved in the solution formation process is __________.
answer
very exothermic slightly exothermic very endothermic ***slightly endothermic The dissolution of many salts, such as table salt, is slightly endothermic. The process of dissolving table salt, NaCl, in water has an enthalpy value of ΔHsoln=+4 kJ/mol. Therefore the temperature of the water will decrease slightly when the salt is added.
question
The enthalpy of solution for NaOH is -44.46 kJ/mol. What can you conclude about the relative magnitudes of the absolute values of ΔHsolute and ΔHhydration, where ΔHsolute is the heat associated with separating the solute particles and ΔHhydration is the heat associated with dissolving the solute particles in water?
answer
***|ΔHsolute| < |ΔHhydration| |ΔHsolute| > |ΔHhydration| |ΔHsolute| = |ΔHhydration| None of the above (nothing can be concluded about the relative magnitudes)

question
Click on the Run button in the activity. Watch how the solubility of a gas changes as pressure is increased and then decreased during the run. Which of the following statements correctly explain the relationship between the solubility of a gas and its pressure? Check all that apply. -As pressure is increased, the rate at which gas molecules enter the solution decreases. -Fewer gas molecules are soluble at higher pressures. -More gas molecules are soluble as pressure is increased. -As pressure decreases, the concentration of gas molecules in the solution increases. -The solubility of nitrogen gas at 2.00 atm is twice the solubility of the gas at 1.00 atm. -The solubility of a gas decreases with a decrease in pressure. -The concentration of gas particles in the solution is higher at 4.25 atm than at 1.00 atm.
answer
Answers: -More gas molecules are soluble as pressure is increased. -The solubility of nitrogen gas at 2.00 atm is twice the solubility of the gas at 1.00 atm. -The solubility of a gas decreases with a decrease in pressure. -The concentration of gas particles in the solution is higher at 4.25 atm than at 1.00 atm. Explanation: Henry's law The solubility of a gas in a liquid solvent at a given temperature is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas over the solution. This relationship is expressed by a simple equation known as Henry's law: S=k×P where S is the solubility of the gas, P is the partial pressure of gas over the liquid, and k is the Henry's law constant. The Henry's law constant, k, is a value that depends on the specific gas and solvent at a specific temperature.

answer
515 M Explanation: Using Henry's law equation, the solubility of ammonia gas is calculated as S===k×P58M/atm×8.88atm515M The solubility of gas in a liquid solvent depends upon the partial pressure of the gas over the solvent, temperature, and the specific type of solvent.

question
Calculate the boiling point of a 3.60 m aqueous sucrose solution. Express the boiling point in degrees Celsius to five significant figures.
answer
boiling point = 101.84 ∘C Explanation: The temperature change (ΔT) to the boiling point of a pure solvent depends on the molality (m) of the solute in the solution, and the equation is ΔT=m×Kb=3.6 m×0.512∘C/m Note that the boiling-point elevation constant of water (Kb=0.512∘C/m) differs from the freezing-point depression constant of water (Kf=1.86∘C/m), which is true for all solvents.

question
A solution contains 48.6 g glucose (C6H12O6) dissolved in 0.800 L of water. What is the molality of the solution? (Assume a density of 1.00 g/mL for water.)
answer
0.249 m ***0.338 m 0.216 m 0.0622 m
question
What is the molarity of a 10.5 % by mass glucose (C6H12O6) solution? (The density of the solution is 1.03 g/mL .) Express the molarity to three significant figures.
answer
molarity = 0.600 M Molarity is the number of moles per liter of solution (mol/L). Therefore, calculating the number of moles in 1 L of solution allows you to determine the molarity, where 1 L of solution has a mass of 1030 g at the given density. The mass ratio (10.5%=0.105) multiplied by the solution mass (1030 g) yields the mass of solute (m=108g of C6H12O6). The mass of glucose is then converted to the number of moles using its molar mass (MW=180.156g/mol).
question
What is the molality of a 10.5 % by mass glucose (C6H12O6) solution? (The density of the solution is 1.03 g/mL .) Express the molality to three significant figures.
answer
molality = 0.651 m Explanation: Molality is the number of moles per kilogram of solvent (mol/kg). Therefore, the mass ratio (10.5%=0.105) can be used to determine the mass of solute per unit mass of solution. Since a percent is the quantity per 100 units, you can deduce that 10.5 g of glucose is present in 100 g of solution. The mass of glucose is then converted to the number of moles using its molar mass (MW=180.156g/mol). The calculation of molality based on 1 kg of solution is m=n/mass solvent=(10.5 g C6H12O6)×(1 mol C6H12O6/180.156 g C6H12O6)(89.5 g H2O)×(1 kg H2O)/(1000 g H2O)
