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.
