Concept introduction:
The criteria to determine the solubility of a given solute in asolvent is governed by the principle of like dissolves like. This means that the polar solvents such as water and alcohols tend to dissolve polar compounds while the non-polar solvents like hexane and urea dissolve covalent or non-polar compounds. Several forces are responsible for solubility of various compounds. For example, the sodium chloride solution is held by electrostatic forces of interaction. Polar molecules such as ethanol that are uncharged dissolved in water via hydrogen bonding interactions.
Water is polar solvent as it contains highly electronegative oxygen atom and electropositive hydrogen atoms. Therefore the ionic solids and some polar molecules which are relatively small can dissolve in water.

- When 10. L of water is added to 3.0 L of 6.0 M H2SO4, what is the molarity of the resulting solution? Assume the volumes are additive.arrow_forwardCitric acid, which can be obtained from lemon juice, has the molecular formula C6H8O7. A 0.250-g sample of citric acid dissolved in 25.0 mL of water requires 37.2 mL of 0.105 M NaOH for complete neutralization. What number of acidic hydrogens per molecule does citric acid have?arrow_forwardOne method for determining the purity of aspirin (C9H8O4) is to hydrolyze it with NaOH solution and then to titrate the remaining NaOH. The reaction of aspirin with NaOH is as follows: A sample of aspirin with a mass of 1.427 g was boiled in 50.00 mL of 0.500 M NaOH. After the solution was cooled, it took 31.92 mL of 0.289 M HCl to titrate the excess NaOH. Calculate the purity of the aspirin. What indicator should be used for this titration? Why?arrow_forward
- What is the difference between a solute and a solvent?arrow_forwardWhich compound or compounds in each of the following groups is (are) soluble in water? (a) BaSO4, Ba(NO3)2, BaCO3 (b) Na2SO4, NaClO4, NaCH3CO2 (c) AgBr, KBr, Al2Br6arrow_forwardConsider an experiment in which two burets, Y and Z, are simultaneously draining into a beaker that initially contained 275.0 mL of 0.300 M HCl. Buret Y contains 0.150 M NaOH and buret Z contains 0.250 M KOH. The stoichiometric point in the titration is reached 60.65 minutes after Y and Z were started simultaneously. The total volume in the beaker at the stoichiometric point is 655 mL. Calculate the flow rates of burets Y and Z. Assume the flow rates remain constant during the experiment.arrow_forward
- On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?arrow_forward94. Baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate. NaHCO3) is often used to neutralize spills of acids on the benchtop in the laboratory. What mass of NaHCO3 would be needed to neutralize a spill consisting of 25.2 mL of 6.01 M hydrochloric acid solution?arrow_forward
