Question

Q1) Calculate the mass of nitrogen dissolved at room temperature in an 77.0 L home aquarium. Assume a total pressure of 1.0 atm and a mole fraction for nitrogen of 0.78.

Express your answer using two significant figures


Q2) Magnesium citrate, Mg3(C6H5O7)2, belongs to a class of laxatives called hyperosmotics, which are used for rapid emptying of the bowel. When a concentrated solution of magnesium citrate is consumed, it passes through the intestines, drawing water and promoting diarrhea, usually within 6 hours.

Calculate the osmotic pressure of a magnesium citrate laxative solution containing 29.5 g of magnesium citrate in 254 mL of solution at 37 C (approximate body temperature). Assume complete dissociation of the ionic compound.

Q3)An aqueous NaCl solution is made using 120 g of NaCl diluted to a total solution volume of 1.15 L .

a)

Calculate the molarity of the solution.

Express your answer using three significant figures.

B)

Calculate the molality of the solution. (Assume a density of 1.08 g/mL for the solution.)

Express your answer using two significant figures.

C)

Calculate the mass percent of the solution. (Assume a density of 1.08 g/mL for the solution.)

Express your answer using three significant figures.

Q4)

To what volume should you dilute 56.5 mL of a 4.45 M KI solution so that 23.5 mL of the diluted solution contains 3.20 g of KI?

Q5)

Lead is a toxic metal that affects the central nervous system. A Pb-contaminated water sample contains 0.0013 % Pb by mass.

How much of the water (in mL) contains 145 mg of Pb? (Assume a density of 1.0 g/mL.)

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

Ans (1)

Given,

Pressure = 1 atm; mole fraction of nitrogen = 0.78, volume of aquarium = 77.0 L

As we know, Henry's law constant (kH) for nitrogen is = 0.00061 M or 6.1*10-4 M

Now convert n moles of nitrogen to grams = n moles/77.0 L = 0.00061 M /atm * 1 atm

                                                                     n = 0.045 moles

As 1 mole of nitrogen contains = 28 gm N2 (molecular weight of N2 )

so 0.045 moles of nitrogen contains = 28 gm * 0.045 moles

                                                              = 1.26 gm

                                mass of nitrogen = 1.26 gm * 0.78

                                                             = 0.983 gm


Partial pressure of N2 is p = (0.78)(1.0atm). In the 80 L tank there is, by the ideal gas law PV = nRT,
n = PV / RT = (0.78 atm)(80 L) / { (0.08206 L*atm/K*mol)(21.1+273.2 K) }
m = n * MW(N2)

where MW is the molecular weight of nitrogen gas. (NB: Your room may be cooler than mine.)
