PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS
1. An aqueous solution with density 0.988 g/mL at 20.0 C is prepared by dissolving
12.8 mL CH3CH2CH2OH (d = 0.803 g/mL) in enough water to produce 75.0 mL of
solution. What is the percent CH3CH2CH2OH expressed as a) percent by volume;
b) percent by mass; c) percent (mass/volume)?
2. A solution (d = 1.159 g/mL) is 62.0% glycerol, C3H8O3, and 38.0% H2O, by mass.
Determine a) the molarity of C3H8O3 (with water as the solvent); b) the molarity of
H2O (with C3H8O3 as the sovent); c) the molality of H2O in C3H8O3; d) the mole
fraction of C3H8O3; e) the mole fraction of H2O.
3. What is the mole fraction of the solute in a 1.000 m aqueous solution?
4. How many grams of water would you add to 1.0000 kg of 1.38 m CH3OH(aq) to
reduce the molality to 1.00 m CH3OH?
5. a) What are the partial and total pressures of a solution obtained by mixing 35.8 g
benzene, C6H6, and 56.7 g toluene, C7H8, at 25.0 C? b) Determine the composition
of the vapor above this benzene-toluene solution. At 25.0 C the vapor pressures of
benzene and toluene are 95.1 mm Hg and 28.4 mm Hg respectively.
6. Calculate the mole fraction of benzene in a benzene-toluene solution that is in
equilibrium at 25.0 C with a vapor phase that contains 62.0 mol % C6H6. At 25.0 C
the vapor pressures of benzene and toluene are 95.1 mm Hg and 28.4 mm Hg
respectively.
7.

A compound is 42.9% C, 2.4% H, 16.7% N, and 38.1% O by mass. Addition of 6.45


g of this compound to 50.0 mL benzene, C6H6 (d = 0.879 g/mL), lowers the freezing
point from 5.53 to 1.37 C. What is the molecular formula of this compound?

8. Coniferin is a glycoside (a derivative of a sugar) found in conifers such as fir trees.


When a 1.205 g sample of coniferin is subjected to combustion analysis, the products
are 0.698 g H2O and 2.479 g CO2. In another experiment, a 2.216 g sample of
coniferin is dissolved in 48.68 g water, and the normal boiling point of this solution is
found to be 100.068 C. What is the molecular formula of coniferin?
9. The molar mass of hemoglobin is 6.86 x 104 amu. What mass of hemoglobin must be
present per 100,0 mL of an aqueous solution to exert an osmotic pressure of 7.25 mm
Hg at 25.0 C?
10. Predict the freezing point of an aqueous 0.845 m lead (II) nitrate solution. Explain
why the experimentally measured value is -2.20 C.
