Questions
19. As the temperature increases, the gas molecules will have a greater average kinetic energy. A
greater fraction of the gas molecules in solution will have a kinetic energy greater than the
attractive forces between the gas molecules and the solvent molecules. More gas molecules
are able to escape to the vapor phase, and the solubility of the gas decreases.
20. Henry’s law is obeyed most accurately for dilute solutions of gases that do not dissociate in
or react with the solvent. NH3 is a weak base and reacts with water by the following reaction:
O2 will bind to hemoglobin in the blood. Due to these reactions in the solvent, NH3(g) in
water and O2(g) in blood do not follow Henry’s law.
21. Because the solute is volatile, both the water and solute will transfer back and forth between
the two beakers. The volume in each beaker will become constant when the concentrations of
solute in the beakers are equal to each other. Because the solute is less volatile than water,
one would expect there to be a larger net transfer of water molecules into the right beaker
than the net transfer of solute molecules into the left beaker. This results in a larger solution
volume in the right beaker when equilibrium is reached, i.e., when the solute concentration is
identical in each beaker.
22. Solutions of A and B have vapor pressures less than ideal (see Figure 11.14 of the text), so
this plot shows negative deviations from Raoult’s law. Negative deviations occur when the
intermolecular forces are stronger in solution than in pure solvent and solute. This results in
an exothermic enthalpy of solution. The only statement that is false is e. A substance boils
when the vapor pressure equals the external pressure. Because χB = 0.6 has a lower vapor
pressure at the temperature of the plot than either pure A or pure B, one would expect this
solution to require the highest temperature in order for the vapor pressure to reach the
external pressure. Therefore, the solution with χB = 0.6 will have a higher boiling point than
either pure A or pure B. (Note that because P°B > P°A, B is more volatile than A, and B will
have a lower boiling point temperature than A).
23. No, the solution is not ideal. For an ideal solution, the strengths of intermolecular forces in
solution are the same as in pure solute and pure solvent. This results in ΔHsoln = 0 for an ideal
solution. ΔHsoln for methanol-water is not zero. Because ΔHsoln < 0 (heat is released), this
solution shows a negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
24. The micelles form so that the ionic ends of the detergent molecules, the SO4− ends, are
exposed to the polar water molecules on the outside, whereas the nonpolar hydrocarbon
chains from the detergent molecules are hidden from the water by pointing toward the inside
of the micelle. Dirt, which is basically nonpolar, is stabilized in the nonpolar interior of the
micelle and is washed away. See the illustration on the following page.

25. Normality is the number of equivalents per liter of solution. For an acid or a base, an
equivalent is the mass of acid or base that can furnish 1 mole of protons (if an acid) or accept
1 mole of protons (if a base). A proton is an H+ ion. Molarity is defined as the moles of solute
per liter of solution. When the number of equivalents equals the number of moles of solute,
then normality = molarity. This is true for acids which only have one acidic proton in them
and for bases that accept only one proton per formula unit. Examples of acids where
equivalents = moles solute are HCl, HNO3, HF, and HC2H3O2. Examples of bases where
equivalents = moles solute are NaOH, KOH, and NH3. When equivalents ≠ moles solute,
then normality ≠ molarity. This is true for acids that donate more than one proton (H2SO4,
H3PO4, H2CO3, etc.) and for bases that react with more than one proton per formula unit
[Ca(OH)2, Ba(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, etc.].
26. It is true that the sodium chloride lattice must be broken in order to dissolve in water, but a lot
of energy is released when the water molecules hydrate the Na+ and Cl− ions. These two
processes have relatively large values for the amount of energy associated with them, but they
are opposite in sign. The end result is they basically cancel each other out resulting in a ∆Hsoln
≈ 0. So energy is not the reason why ionic solids like NaCl are so soluble in water. The
answer lies in nature’s tendency toward the higher probability of the mixed state. Processes,
in general, are favored that result in an increase in disorder because the disordered state is the
easiest (most probable) state to achieve. The tendency of processes to increase disorder will
be discussed in Chapter 17 when entropy, S, is introduced.
27. Only statement b is true. A substance freezes when the vapor pressure of the liquid and solid
are the same. When a solute is added to water, the vapor pressure of the solution at 0°C is less
than the vapor pressure of the solid, and the net result is for any ice present to convert to
liquid in order to try to equalize the vapor pressures (which never can occur at 0°C). A lower
temperature is needed to equalize the vapor pressure of water and ice, hence, the freezing
point is depressed.
CHAPTER 11 PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS 411
For statement a, the vapor pressure of a solution is directly related to the mole fraction of
solvent (not solute) by Raoult’s law. For statement c, colligative properties depend on the
number of solute particles present and not on the identity of the solute. For statement d, the
boiling point of water is increased because the sugar solute decreases the vapor pressure of
the water; a higher temperature is required for the vapor pressure of the solution to equal the
external pressure so boiling can occur.
28. This is true if the solute will dissolve in camphor. Camphor has the largest Kb and Kf
constants. This means that camphor shows the largest change in boiling point and melting
point as a solute is added. The larger the change in ∆T, the more precise the measurement and
the more precise the calculated molar mass. However, if the solute won’t dissolve in
camphor, then camphor is no good and another solvent must be chosen which will dissolve
the solute.
29. Adding a solute to a solvent increases the boiling point and decreases the freezing point of the
solvent. Thus the solvent is a liquid over a wider range of temperatures when a solute is
dissolved.
30. Table sugar (C12H22O11) and urea [(NH2)2CO] are nonelectrolytes in water, i.e., they stay
together when dissolved in water. CaCl2 is a strong electrolyte which breaks up into three
ions when dissolved in water. A 1 molal solution of CaCl2 has an effective particle
concentration of 3 molal (assuming complete dissociation). If the three solutions have equal
molal concentrations, the CaCl2 solution will have many more particles present and will have
a lower freezing point; it will be more effective at melting ice on roads.
31. Colligative properties are ones that only depend on the number of solute particles present and
not on the identity of the solute. So if the boiling points of the two aqueous solutions are the
same, then the two solutions have the same moles of proteins present. Other colligative
properties that will be the same between the two solutions are vapor pressure, boiling point,
and osmotic pressure. This assumes that molarity = molality for the solutions, which is a
reasonable assumption for dilute solutions.
32. In dialysis, the blood is passed through cellophane tube which acts as a semipermeable
membrane. The tube is surrounded by a dialyzing solution which has the same ion and small
particle concentrations as healthy blood. As the patient’s blood passes through the cellophane
tube, waste products in the blood move from the patient’s blood into the dialyzing solution,
which cleanses the blood.
33. Isotonic solutions are those which have identical osmotic pressures. Crenation and hemolysis
refer to phenomena that occur when red blood cells are bathed in solutions having a mismatch
in osmotic pressures inside and outside the cell. When red blood cells are in a solution having
a higher osmotic pressure than that of the cells, the cells shrivel as there is a net transfer of
water out of the cells. This is called crenation. Hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells are
bathed in a solution having lower osmotic pressure than that inside the cell. Here, the cells
rupture as there is a net transfer of water to into the red blood cells.
412 CHAPTER 11 PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS
34. Ion pairing is a phenomenon that occurs in solution when oppositely charged ions aggregate
and behave as a single particle. For example, when NaCl is dissolved in water, one would
expect sodium chloride to exist as separate hydrated Na+ ions and Cl− ions. A few ions,
however, stay together as NaCl and behave as just one particle. Ion pairing increases in a
solution as the ion concentration increases (as the molality increases).

Because citric acid is a triprotic acid, the number of protons citric acid can provide is three
times the molarity. Therefore, normality = 3 × molarity:
46. When expressing concentration in terms of normality, equivalents per liter are determined.
For acid-base reactions, equivalents are equal to the moles of H+ an acid can donate or the
moles of H+ a base can accept. For monoprotic acids like HCl, the equivalents of H+
furnished equals the moles of acid present. Diprotic acids like H2SO4 furnish two equivalents
of H+ per mole of acid, whereas triprotic acids like H3PO4 furnish three equivalents of H+ per
mole of acid. For the bases in this problem, the equivalents of H+ accepted equals the number
of OH− anions present in the formula (H+ + OH− → H2O). Finally, the equivalent mass of
a substance is the mass of acid or base that can furnish or accept 1 mole of protons (H+ ions).
CHAPTER 11 PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS 417
ΔHsoln refers to the heat released or gained when a solute dissolves in a solvent. Here, an
ionic compound dissolves in water.
b. The enthalpy of hydration for CaCl2 is more exothermic than for CaI2. Any differences
must be due to differences in hydration between Cl− and I−. Thus the smaller chloride ion
is more strongly hydrated than the iodide ion.
49. Both Al(OH)3 and NaOH are ionic compounds. Since the lattice energy is proportional to the
charge of the ions, the lattice energy of aluminum hydroxide is greater than that of sodium
hydroxide. The attraction of water molecules for Al3+ and OH− cannot overcome the larger
lattice energy, and Al(OH)3 is insoluble. For NaOH, the favorable hydration energy is large
enough to overcome the smaller lattice energy, and NaOH is soluble.
50. The dissolving of an ionic solute in water can be thought of as taking place in two steps. The
first step, called the lattice-energy term, refers to breaking apart the ionic compound into
gaseous ions. This step, as indicated in the problem, requires a lot of energy and is
unfavorable. The second step, called the hydration-energy term, refers to the energy released
when the separated gaseous ions are stabilized as water molecules surround the ions. Because
the interactions between water molecules and ions are strong, a lot of energy is released when
ions are hydrated. Thus the dissolution process for ionic compounds can be thought of as
consisting of an unfavorable and a favorable energy term. These two processes basically
cancel each other out, so when ionic solids dissolve in water, the heat released or gained is
minimal, and the temperature change is minimal.
51. Water is a polar solvent and dissolves polar solutes and ionic solutes. Carbon tetrachloride
(CCl4) is a nonpolar solvent and dissolves nonpolar solutes (like dissolves like). To predict
the polarity of the following molecules, draw the correct Lewis structure and then determine
if the individual bond dipoles cancel or not. If the bond dipoles are arranged in such a manner
that they cancel each other out, then the molecule is nonpolar. If the bond dipoles do not
cancel each other out, then the molecule is polar.

52. Water is a polar solvent and dissolves polar solutes and ionic solutes. Hexane (C6H14) is a
nonpolar solvent and dissolves nonpolar solutes (like dissolves like).
d. C6H14; the long nonpolar hydrocarbon chain favors a nonpolar solvent (the molecule
is mostly nonpolar).
53. Water exhibits H-bonding in the pure state and is classified as a polar solvent. Water will
dissolve other polar solutes and ionic solutes.
54. For ionic compounds, as the charge of the ions increases and/or the size of the ions decreases,
the attraction to water (hydration) increases.
55. As the length of the hydrocarbon chain increases, the solubility decreases. The ‒OH end of
the alcohols can hydrogen-bond with water. The hydrocarbon chain, however, is basically
nonpolar and interacts poorly with water. As the hydrocarbon chain gets longer, a greater
portion of the molecule cannot interact with the water molecules, and the solubility decreases;
i.e., the effect of the ‒OH group decreases as the alcohols get larger.
420 CHAPTER 11 PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS
There is a gradual change in the nature of the intermolecular forces (weaker to stronger).
Each preceding solvent is miscible in its predecessor because there is not a great change in
the strengths of the intermolecular forces from one solvent to the next.

When equal moles of NaCl is substituted for glucose, we must consider that NaCl breaks up
into two ions in solution. So the moles of solute particles will be double for the NaCl solution
as compared to the glucose solution (assuming complete dissociation of NaCl). If we have
100.0 moles of the glucose solution, χ = 0.824 determines that we have 82.4 moles of H2O
and 17.6 moles of glucose. The moles of solute particles if 17.6 moles of NaCl is substituted

67. Compared to H2O, solution d (methanol-water) will have the highest vapor pressure since
methanol is more volatile than water (PHo 2O = 23.8 torr at 25°C). Both solution b (glucose-
water) and solution c (NaCl-water) will have a lower vapor pressure than water by Raoult's
law. NaCl dissolves to give Na+ ions and Cl− ions; glucose is a nonelectrolyte. Because there
are more solute particles in solution c, the vapor pressure of solution c will be the lowest.
68. Solution d (methanol-water); methanol is more volatile than water, which will increase the
total vapor pressure to a value greater than the vapor pressure of pure water at this tempera-
ture.
69. The first diagram shows positive deviation from Raoult's law. This occurs when the solute-
solvent interactions are weaker than the interactions in pure solvent and pure solute. The
second diagram illustrates negative deviation from Raoult's law. This occurs when the
solute-solvent interactions are stronger than the interactions in pure solvent and pure solute.
The third diagram illustrates an ideal solution with no deviation from Raoult's law. This
occurs when the solute-solvent interactions are about equal to the pure solvent and pure
solute interactions.
a. These two molecules are named acetone (CH3COCH3) and water. As discussed in
section 11.4 on nonideal solutions, acetone-water solutions exhibit negative deviations
from Raoult’s law. Acetone and water have the ability to hydrogen bond with each other,
which gives the solution stronger intermolecular forces as compared to the pure states of
both solute and solvent. In the pure state, acetone cannot H−bond with itself. So the
middle diagram illustrating negative deviations from Raoult’s law is the correct choice
for acetone-water solutions.
b. These two molecules are named ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and water. Ethanol-water
solutions show positive deviations from Raoult’s law. Both substances can hydrogen
bond in the pure state, and they can continue this in solution. However, the solute-
solvent interactions are somewhat weaker for ethanol-water solutions due to the
significant nonpolar part of ethanol (CH3−CH2 is the nonpolar part of ethanol). This
nonpolar part of ethanol weakens the intermolecular forces in solution. So the first
diagram illustrating positive deviations from Raoult’s law is the correct choice for
ethanol-water solutions.
CHAPTER 11 PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS 423
c. These two molecules are named heptane (C7H16) and hexane (C6H14). Heptane and
hexane are very similar nonpolar substances; both are composed entirely of nonpolar
C−C bonds and relatively nonpolar C−H bonds, and both have a similar size and shape.
Solutions of heptane and hexane should be ideal. So the third diagram illustrating no
deviation from Raoult’s law is the correct choice for heptane-hexane solutions.
d. These two molecules are named heptane (C7H16) and water. The interactions between the
nonpolar heptane molecules and the polar water molecules will certainly be weaker in
solution as compared to the pure solvent and pure solute interactions. This results in
positive deviations from Raoult’s law (the first diagram).
70. a. An ideal solution would have a vapor pressure at any mole fraction of H2O between that
of pure propanol and pure water (between 74.0 and 71.9 torr). The vapor pressures of the
various solutions are not between these limits, so water and propanol do not form ideal
solutions.
b. From the data, the vapor pressures of the various solutions are greater than if the
solutions behaved ideally (positive deviation from Raoult’s law). This occurs when the
intermolecular forces in solution are weaker than the intermolecular forces in pure
solvent and pure solute. This gives rise to endothermic (positive) ΔHsoln values.
c. The interactions between propanol and water molecules are weaker than between the pure
substances because the solutions exhibit a positive deviation from Raoult’s law.
d. At χ H 2O = 0.54, the vapor pressure is highest as compared to the other solutions. Because
a solution boils when the vapor pressure of the solution equals the external pressure, the
χ H 2O = 0.54 solution should have the lowest normal boiling point; this solution will have
a vapor pressure equal to 1 atm at a lower temperature as compared to the other solutions.

π = MRT, where M = mol/L; we must assume that molarity = molality so that we can
calculate the osmotic pressure. This is a reasonable assumption for dilute solutions when 1.00
kg of water ≈ 1.00 L of solution. Assuming NaCl exists as Na+ and Cl– ions in solution, a
0.218 m solution corresponds to 6.37 g NaCl dissolved in 1.00 kg of water. The volume of
solution may be a little larger than 1.00 L but not by much (to three sig. figs.). The
assumption that molarity = molality will be good here.

This represents the total molarity of the solute particles. NaCl is a soluble ionic compound
that breaks up into two ions, Na+ and Cl−. Therefore, the concentration of NaCl needed is

assuming complete dissociation.

The effective particle concentrations of the solutions are (assuming complete dissociation):
4.0(0.010 molal) = 0.040 molal for the Na3PO4 solution; 3.0(0.020 molal) = 0.060 molal
for the CaBr2 solution; 2.0(0.020 molal) = 0.040 molal for the KCl solution; slightly
greater than 0.020 molal for the HF solution because HF only partially dissociates in
water (it is a weak acid).
a. The 0.010 m Na3PO4 solution and the 0.020 m KCl solution both have effective particle
concentrations of 0.040 m (assuming complete dissociation), so both of these solutions
should have the same boiling point as the 0.040 m C6H12O6 solution (a nonelectrolyte).
CHAPTER 11 PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS 427
b. P = χP°; as the solute concentration decreases, the solvent’s vapor pressure increases
because χ increases. Therefore, the 0.020 m HF solution will have the highest vapor
pressure because it has the smallest effective particle concentration.
c. ΔT = Kfm; the 0.020 m CaBr2 solution has the largest effective particle concentration, so
it will have the largest freezing point depression (largest ΔT).
86. The solutions of C12H22O11, NaCl, and CaCl2 will all have lower freezing points, higher
boiling points, and higher osmotic pressures than pure water. The solution with the largest
particle concentration will have the lowest freezing point, the highest boiling point, and the
highest osmotic pressure. The CaCl2 solution will have the largest effective particle
concentration because it produces three ions per mole of compound.
89. There are six cations and six anions in the illustration which indicates six solute formula units
initially. There are a total of 10 solute particles in solution (a combined ion pair counts as
one solute particle). So the value for the van’t Hoff factor is:
moles of particles in solution 10
i = = = 1.67

90. From Table 11.6, MgSO4 has an observed i value of 1.3 while the observed i value for NaCl
is 1.9. Both salts have an expected i value of 2. The expected i value for a salt is determined
by assuming 100% of the salt breaks up into separate cations and anions. The MgSO4 solu-
428 CHAPTER 11 PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS
tion is furthest from the expected i value because it forms the most combined ion pairs in
solution. So the figure on the left with the most combined ion pairs represents the MgSO4
solution. The figure on the right represents the NaCl solution. When NaCl is in solution, it
has very few combined ion pairs and, hence, has a van’t Hoff factor very close to the
expected i value.
ΔTb = iKbm = 3.0 × 0.51 °C/molal × 0.050 molal = 0.077°C; Tb = 100.077°C (Assuming

solute concentration increases.

nonpolar benzene ring. In benzene, a hydrogen-bonded dimer forms.
O O H O
C O H C C
O H O
The dimer is relatively nonpolar and thus more soluble in benzene than in water. Because
benzoic acid forms dimers in benzene, the effective solute particle concentration will be less
than 1.0 molal. Therefore, the freezing-point depression would be less than 5.12°C (∆Tf =
Kf m).
430 CHAPTER 11 PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS
98. Benzoic acid (see Exercise 97) would be more soluble in a basic solution because of the
reaction:
C6H5CO2H + OH− → C6H5CO2− + H2O
By removing the proton from benzoic acid, an anion forms, and like all anions, the species
becomes more soluble in water.
99. The main factor for stabilization seems to be electrostatic repulsion. The center of a colloid
particle is surrounded by a layer of same charged ions, with oppositely charged ions forming
another charged layer on the outside. Overall, there are equal numbers of charged and
oppositely charged ions, so the colloidal particles are electrically neutral. However, since the
outer layers are the same charge, the particles repel each other and do not easily aggregate for
precipitation to occur.
Heating increases the velocities of the colloidal particles. This causes the particles to collide
with enough energy to break the ion barriers, allowing the colloids to aggregate and
eventually precipitate out. Adding an electrolyte neutralizes the adsorbed ion layers, which
allows colloidal particles to aggregate and then precipitate out.
100. Water is a polar solvent because the H2O molecule exhibits a dipole moment, that is, H2O is
a molecule which has a partial negative charged end and a partial positive charged end. The
electrostatic potential diagram for H2O illustrates this with colors. The partial negative end of
the dipole moment is the red end and the partial positive end is around the blue end.
Because water is a polar solvent, it will dissolve other polar covalent compounds. The
electrostatic potential diagram for NH3 illustrates that NH3 has a dipole moment (the red end
is the partial negative end and the light blue end is the partial positive end). Because NH3 has
a dipole moment (is polar), it will be soluble in water. However, the electrostatic potential
diagram for CH4 doesn’t have one specific negative (red) end and has four blue regions
arranged symmetrically about the molecule. CH4 does not have a dipole moment (is nonpolar)
and will not be soluble in water.
If ideal, the solution would have a freezing point of −1.9°C. Since the freezing point is only
−1.6°C, the solution is not ideal and there is some ion pairing in solution.

103. a. Water boils when the vapor pressure equals the pressure above the water. In an open pan,
Patm ≈ 1.0 atm. In a pressure cooker, Pinside > 1.0 atm, and water boils at a higher temper-
ature. The higher the cooking temperature, the faster is the cooking time.
b. When water freezes from a solution, it freezes as pure water, leaving behind a more
concentrated salt solution. Therefore, the melt of frozen sea ice is pure water.
c. In the CO2 phase diagram in Chapter 10, the triple point is above 1 atm, so CO2(g) is the
stable phase at 1 atm and room temperature. CO2(l) can't exist at normal atmospheric
pressures. Therefore, dry ice sublimes instead of boils. In a fire extinguisher, P > 1 atm,
and CO2(l) can exist. When CO2 is released from the fire extinguisher, CO2(g) forms, as
predicted from the phase diagram.

106. ∆H1 and ∆H2 refer to the breaking of intermolecular forces in pure solute and in pure solvent.
∆H3 refers to the formation of the intermolecular forces in solution between the solute and
solvent. ∆Hsoln is the sum ∆H1 + ∆H2 + ∆H3.
432 CHAPTER 11 PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS
a. The electrostatic potential diagram illustrates that acetone (CH3COCH3), like water, is a
polar substance (each has a red end indicating the partial negative end of the dipole
moment and a blue end indicating the partial positive end). For a polar solute in a polar
solvent, ∆H1 and ∆H2 will be large and positive, while ∆H3 will be a large negative value.
As discussed in section 11.4 on nonideal solutions, acetone-water solutions exhibit
negative deviations from Raoult’s law. Acetone and water have the ability to hydrogen
bond with each other, which gives the solution stronger intermolecular forces as
compared to the pure states of both solute and solvent. In the pure state, acetone cannot
H−bond with itself. Because acetone and water show negative deviations from Raoult’s
law, one would expect ∆Hsoln to be slightly negative. Here ∆H3 will be more than
negative enough to overcome the large positive value from the ∆H1 and ∆H2 terms
combined.
b. These two molecules are named ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and water. Ethanol-water
solutions show positive deviations from Raoult’s law. Both substances can hydrogen
bond in the pure state, and they can continue this in solution. However, the solute-
solvent interactions are somewhat weaker for ethanol-water solutions due to the small
nonpolar part of ethanol (CH3CH2 is the nonpolar part of ethanol). This nonpolar part of
ethanol slightly weakens the intermolecular forces in solution. So as in part a, when a
polar solute and polar solvent are present, ∆H1 and ∆H2 are large and positive, while ∆H3
is large and negative. For positive deviations from Raoult’s law, the interactions in
solution are weaker than the interactions in pure solute and pure solvent. Here, ∆Hsoln
will be slightly positive because the ∆H3 term is not negative enough to overcome the
large, positive ∆H1 and ∆H2 terms combined.
c. As the electrostatic potential diagrams indicate, both heptane (C7H16) and hexane (C6H14)
are nonpolar substances. For a nonpolar solute dissolved in a nonpolar solvent, ∆H1 and
∆H2 are small and positive, while the ∆H3 term is small and negative. These three terms
have small values due to the relatively weak London dispersion forces that are broken
and formed for solutions consisting of a nonpolar solute in a nonpolar solvent. Because
∆H1, ∆H2, and ∆H3 are all small values, the ∆Hsoln value will be small. Here, heptane and
hexane would form an ideal solution because the relative strengths of the London
dispersion forces are about equal in pure solute and pure solvent as compared to those LD
forces in solution. For ideal solutions, ∆Hsoln = 0.
d. This combination represents a nonpolar solute in a polar solvent. ∆H1 will be small due
to the relative weak London dispersion forces which are broken when the solute (C7H16)
expands. ∆H2 will be large and positive because of the relatively strong hydrogen
bonding interactions that must be broken when the polar solvent (water) is expanded.
And finally, the ∆H3 term will be small because the nonpolar solute and polar solvent do
not interact with each other. The end result is that ∆Hsoln is a large positive value.

assuming ideal behavior (188.6 torr). Therefore, the solution exhibits negative deviations
from Raoult’s law. This occurs when the solute-solvent interactions are stronger than in pure
solute and pure solvent.

Note: We use the experimental molar mass to determine the molecular formula. Knowing
this, we calculate the molar mass precisely from the molecular formula using the atomic
masses in the periodic table.
112. a. As discussed in Figure 11.19 of the text, the water would migrate from left to right (to the
side with the solution). Initially, the level of liquid in the left arm would go down, and the
level in the right arm would go up. At some point the rate of solvent (H2O) transfer will
be the same in both directions, and the levels of the liquids in the two arms will stabilize.
The height difference between the two arms is a measure of the osmotic pressure of the
solution.
b. Initially, H2O molecules will have a net migration into the solution side. However, the
solute can now migrate into the H2O side. Because solute and solvent transfer are both
possible, the levels of the liquids will be equal once the rates of solute and solvent
transfer are equal in both directions. At this point the concentration of solute will be equal
in both chambers, and the levels of liquid will be equal.

than H2O which exhibits extensive hydrogen bonding.
b. CH3OH and CH3CH2OH have the most similar structures and will behave most ideally.

benzene in the second solution and χ TL, 2 = mole fraction of toluene in the second solution.
This second solution came from the vapor collected from the first (initial) solution, so, χ BV, 1 =

128. a. Freezing-point depression is determined using molality for the concentration units,
whereas molarity units are used to determine osmotic pressure. We need to assume that
the molality of the solution equals the molarity of the solution.

b. Molarity = ; molality =
liters solution kg solvent
When the liters of solution equal the kilograms of solvent present for a solution, then
molarity equals molality. This occurs for an aqueous solution when the density of the
solution is equal to the density of water, 1.00 g/cm3. The density of a solution is close to
1.00 g/cm3 when not a lot of solute is dissolved in solution. Therefore, molarity and
molality values are close to each other only for dilute solutions.

This solution is much more concentrated than the isotonic solution in part c. Here, water
will leave the plant cells in order to try to equilibrate the ion concentration both inside

135. HCO2H → H+ + HCO2−; only 4.2% of HCO2H ionizes. The amount of H+ or HCO2−
produced is 0.042 × 0.10 M = 0.0042 M.
The amount of HCO2H remaining in solution after ionization is 0.10 M − 0.0042 M = 0.10 M.

137. a. Assuming MgCO3(s) does not dissociate, the solute concentration in water is:
An applied pressure of 8.0 atm will purify water up to a solute concentration of:
CHAPTER 11 PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS 443
Note: If MgCO3 does dissociate into Mg2+ and CO32− ions, then the solute concentration
increases to 1.3 × 10−2 M, and at least 47 L of water must be processed.
b. No; a reverse osmosis system that applies 8.0 atm can only purify water with a solute
concentration of less than 0.32 mol/L. Salt water has a solute concentration of 2(0.60 M)
= 1.2 mol/L ions. The solute concentration of salt water is much too high for this reverse
osmosis unit to work.

Note: Because we can precisely weigh to ±0.1 mg on an analytical balance, we'll carry
extra significant figures and calculate results to ±0.1 mg.
Thus we need to add an additional 236.5 mg Na+ to get the desired 300. mg.
