(a) A student finds that a 0.510-g sample of Ne(g) occupies 495 mL. What
volume (mL) would the Ne(g) occupy, if the student adds 0.250 g Ne at
constant temperature and pressure?
(b) A 1.00-g sample of an unknown noble gas is placed into a 1.50 L vessel
at 298 K. If the pressure exerted by the gas is 148 torr, identify the noble gas.
(c) What pressure (atm) does a mixture of 10.0 g CO and 10.0 g CO2 exert in
a 5.00-L container at 273 K?

(a) 33.07 g sucrose is dissolved in 85.27 g H2O. The resulting solution
freezes at -2.020C. Calculate the molar mass of sucrose.
(b) Which aqueous solution has the higher osmotic pressure at a given
temperature, 10% glucose (C6H12O6), or 10% sucrose (C12H22O11) (Both are
molecular compounds)?
(c) Arrange the following aqueous solutions in the order of increasing boiling
points: 0.02 mol kg-1 LiBr, 0.03 mol kg-1 sucrose, 0.03 mol kg-1 MgSO4, and
0.03 mol kg-1 CaCl2.
