1. Calculate the no. of moles of K2SO4 in 174 kg of itself. (Molar Mass of: K=39 g mol-1 , S = 1
32 g mol-1, O= 16 g mol-1)
Molar mass of K2SO4 = 174 g/mol;
174 kg or 174000 g of K2SO4 contains 174000/174 mol= 1000 moles of it

2. If there are 3.5 moles of a substance A and 6.5 moles of a substance B in a solu on 1
made from mixing only A and B, calculate the mole frac on of B.
Mole frac on of B = No. of moles of A/ (No. of moles of A + No. of moles of B) = 6.5/10=0.65

3. Find the freezing point of a solu on made by dissolving 100 grams of a non-vola le 2
substance A2B in 3800 grams of X. (You may assume that there is no difference between
volume of the solu on and the volume of the solvent, the freezing point of X is -200C, B
has a valency of -2, molar masses of A and B are 20g/mol and 10g/mol respec vely,
Ebullioscopic constant of X: Ex= 4.4 K Kg mol-1, Cryoscopic constant of Cx = 10.3 K Kg
mol-1)
Molality of the solu on = (no. of moles of solute)/mass of solvent (kg)
= (100/(20 x 2 + 10))/3.8 mol/kg = 0.53 mol / kg

Magnitude of depression in freezing point = m x Cx = 10.3 x 0.53 = 5.46 K or 0C (either kelvin or

Celsius as there is no scaling factor while conver ng between Kelvin and Celsius)

New freezing point = old – magnitude of freezing point depression = -20 - 5.46 0C = 25.46 0C

4. For the diagram given below answer the following: 1

a. What informa on is provided by the graph regarding the solu on made by
dissolving a non-vola le solute in the solvent (men oned in the diagram)?
Upon the addi on of a non-vola le solute to a solvent the vapor pressure
of the solu on is lower than that of the pure solvent.
Vapor pressure of the solvent becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure
at a certain temperature T1 that is lesser that the Temperature at which the
vapor pressure of the solu on becomes equal to the atmospheric
pressure.

FYI: When the vapor pressure of the substance equals the environmental
pressure it is exposed to the phenomenon is generally referred to as boiling
or sublima on (depending on the ini al phase). On earth currently the
pressure exerted by the atmosphere is 1 atm.

This indicates that the boiling point of the solvent is lesser that the boiling
point of the solu on, indica ng an eleva on in boiling point.

b. Express the devia on in the graph mathema cally.

ΔT=Km
Where:
- Δ T is the eleva on in boiling point temperature
- K is the Ebullioscopic constant
- m is the molality

5. Find the change in osmo c pressure when the concentra on of an aqueous solu on of 2
NaCl increases from 2 M to 4 M at STP (at STP: Temperature = 273.15 K and Pressure =1
atm).
Osmo c pressure at 2M = Π 2M= 2 x 0.081 x 273.15 = 44.25 bar
At 4M , osmo c pressure = 2 x Osmo c pressure at 2M; Π 4M = 2 x Π 2M;
ΔΠ = Π4M - Π2M = 2Π2M - Π2M = Π2M (2-1) = Π2M = 44.25 bar

6. What is the rela ve change in vapor pressure observed when 117 g of Sodium Chloride 1
(Non-vola le solute – Solid phase) is added to 78 kg of Benzene (liquid phase)?
(1kg=1000g, molecular formula of benzene = C6H6, molar mass of C =12 g/mol, molar
mass of H=1 g/mol, Vapor pressure of Benzene=75mmHg)
None. Sodium chloride will not dissolve in 78kg of Benzene. Hence no significant change in vapor
pressure.
7. In a closed system containing a solu on formed by mixing 560 grams of A with 540 2
grams of B. Find the net pressure of the solu on and the mole frac ons of A and B in
the vapor phases. (Molar masses of A and B are 28g/mol and 36 g/mol respec vely
while vapor pressure of A and B are 280 torr and 380 torr respec vely).

No of moles of a = na = 560/28 mol = 20 moles

No of moles of b = nb = 540/36 mol = 15 moles

Mole frac on of a = Xa = 20/35

Mole frac on of b =Xb = 15/35

Par al pressure of a = Pa = P0aXa = 20/35 x 280 torr = 5600/35 torr

Par al pressure of a = Pb = P0bXb = 15/35 x 380 torr = 5700/35 torr

Net pressure = P total = Pa + Pb = P0aXa + P0bXb = 1/35 x (20 x 280 + 15 x 380) torr
= (5600 + 5700)/35 torr = 11300/35 torr = 322.86 torr

In the gaseous state = total pressure = 322.86 torr = 11300/35 torr while par al pressures are
5600/35 torr and 5700/35 torr for a and b respec vely

Mole frac on of gaseous a = Xa(g) = Pa / Ptotal = 5600/35 / 11300/35 = 5600/11300 = 56/113 = 0.496
≈ 0.5
Mole frac on of gaseous b = Xb(g) = 1- Xa(g) = 1-0.496 = 0.504 ≈ 0.5
