- What is the freezing point and normal boiling point of a solution made by adding 39 mL of acetone, C3H6O, to 225 mL of water? The densities of acetone and water are 0.790 g/cm3 and 1.00 g/cm3, respectively.arrow_forwardCalcium chloride, CaCl2, has been used to melt ice from roadways. Given that the saturated solution is 32% CaCl2 by mass, estimate the freezing point.arrow_forwardThe organic salt [(C4H9)4N][ClO4] consists of the ions (C4H9)4N+ and ClO4. The salt dissolves in chloroform. What mass (in grams) of the salt must have been dissolved if the boiling point of a solution of the salt in 25.0 g chloroform is 63.20 C? The normal boiling point of chloroform is 61.70 C and Kb = 3.63 C kg mol1. Assume that the salt dissociates completely into its ions in solution.arrow_forward
