Homework
2nd week
1. A soft drink is made by dissolving CO2 gas at 4,00 atm in a flavored solution and
sealing the solution in aluminum cans at 20 x∙. What amount (in moles) of CO 2 is
contained in a can of the soft drink of volume 360. mL? At 20 oC the Henry’s law
constant for CO2 is 2.3 x 10-2 mol∙L-1∙atm-1.
2. The enthalpy of solution of ammonium nitrate in water is positive. (a) Does
NH4NO3 dissolve endothermically or exothermically? (b) Write the chemical
equation for the dissolving process. (c) Which is larger for NH 4NO3, the lattice
enthalpy or the enthalpy of hydration?
3. The density of 11.7 M HClO 4(aq) is 1.67g∙cm-3. What is the molality of tHClO 4 in
the solution?
4. A solution prepared by adding 0.50 g of a polymer to 0.200 L of toluene showed
an osmotic pressure of 0.582 Torr at 20 oC. What is the molar mass of the
polymer?
5. Calculate the reaction Gibbs energy of PCl 3(g) + Cl2(g) → PCl5(g) at 230 oC when
the partial pressures of PCl3, Cl2, and PCl5 are 0.35 bar, 0.45 bar, and 1.02 bar,
respectively. What is the spontaneous direction of change, given that K = 49 at
230 oC?
