- Assuming the CO2 partial pressure in air above a lake at sea level is 4.0 x
10-4 atm, what is the equilibrium concentration of CO2 in the lake
at 25oC? (Henrys law constant is 32 L . atm / mole)

to 100 mL of water?
Answers
1.
molarity
(1.0 grams benzene) / (78 g/mol) = .0128 moles benzene
(0.128 moles0 / (0.100 L) = 1.28 Moles/Liter
mass percent
total mass = 1.0 g benzene + 100 g water = 101 g
1.0 grams benzene / (total mass)
1.0 g benezine / 101 g * 100 = .99 percent benzene
mole fraction
(1.0 grams benzene) / (78 g/mol) = .0128 moles benzene
(100 g water) / (16 g/mol) = 6.25 moles water
(.0128 moles benzene) / (.0128 moles benzene + 6.25 moles water) = .20 % benzene
molality
(1.0 grams benzene) / (78 g/mol) = .0128 moles benzene
(.0128 moles benzene) / (.1 kg water) = 1.28 mole/Kg

- Ca2+ should be more heavily hydrated because there is a greater attractive
force due to the extra charge making D H3 more
negative. D H1 and D H2
are going to be similar because these are similarly sized ions.
- Na+ should be more heavily hydrated because it is the smaller ion, which will
decrease D H1 and D H2.
- Cu2+ should be more heavily hydrated because of the same reasons as in part
a.

PCO2 = kCO2CCO2
CCO2 = PCO2 / kCO2
CCO2 = 4.0 E-4 atm / 32 L atm/mol
CCO2 = 1.2 E-5 mol/L
4.
P = c solvent Po
20 g ethanol / 46 g/mol = .44 mol ethanol
150 g water / 16 g.mol = 9.4 mol water
c solvent = 9.4 mol water / (9.4 mol water + .44
mol ethanol)
c solvent = .96
P = 0.96 * 23.76 mm Hg = 23 mm Hg
5.
msolute = moles NaCl / Kg water
msolute = (10 g / 58.5 g/mol) / .10 kg water
msolute = 1.7 mol/kg
Tb = Tob + Kb msolute
Tb = 100 + .51* 1.7 * 2
Tb = 102 oC
Tf = Tof - Kb msolute
Tf = 0 1.86* 1.7 * 2
Tf = -6.3 oC
Note that i in this case is 2

1.0 g CaCl2/ 111.0 g/mol = .00900 mol CaCl2
.00900 mol CaCl2 / .100 L = .0900 M CaCl2
p = iMRT
p = 3*.0900*.08206 * 298
p = 6.60 atm
