Phase Chemistry & Colligative Properties

1. A 15.34 g sample of an unknown organic compound was dissolved in 100.0 g of
benzene. The boiling point of the solution was found to be 83.12 C. Determine the
molar mass of the compound. The normal boiling point of benzene is 78.51 C, and
Kb is 2.53 K kg mol-1.
2. Calculate the vapour pressure of a solution made by dissolving 218 g of glucose in
460 mL of water at 30 C. The vapour pressure of pure water at 30 C is 31.82 mmHg.
The density of the solution is 1g/mL. (Glucose = C6H12O6).
3. A solution prepared from 1.25 g of oil of wintergreen (methyl silicate) in 99.0 g of
benzene has a boiling point of 80.31 C. Determine the molar mass of this compound.
(Boiling point of benzene = 80.1 C and Kb = 2.53 C kg mol-1).
4. Calculate the molality of C2H5OH in an aqueous solution that is prepared by mixing
50.0 cm3 of C2H5OH with 108.4 cm3 of H2O at 20 C. The density of the C2H5OH is
0.789 g cm-3 at 20 C. Assume the density of water at this temperature is 1.00 g cm-3.
5. Calculate the osmotic pressure exhibited by a 0.1 M sucrose solution at 20 C.
6. 0.500 g haemoglobin was dissolved in enough water to make 100.0mL of solution. At
25 o C the osmotic pressure was found to be 1.78 x 10-3 atm. Calculate the molecular
mass of the haemoglobin.
