You make a saturated solution of NaCl at 25 °C. No solid is present in the beaker holding the solution. What can be done to increase the amount of dissolved NaCl in this solution? (See Figure 13.11.)
- (a) Add more solid NaCl.
- (b) Raise the temperature of the solution.
- (c) Raise the temperature of the solution, and add some NaCl.
- (d) Lower the temperature of the solution, and add some NaCl.
Figure 13.11 The temperature dependence of the solubility of some ionic compounds in wafer. The solubility of most ionic compounds increases with increasing temperature This is illustrated using NH4CI (ports b and c).

- Temperature influences solubility. Does temperature have the same effect on all substances? Justify your answer. (Hint: Consider Le Chateliers principle.)arrow_forwardA 0.109 mol/kg aqueous solution of formic acid, HCOOH, freezes at −0.210 °C. Calculate the percent dissociation of formic acid.arrow_forwardRefer to Figure 13.10 ( Sec. 13-4b) to answer these questions. (a) Does a saturated solution occur when 65.0 g LiCl is present in 100 g H2O at 40 C? Explain your answer. (b) Consider a solution that contains 95.0 g LiCl in 100 g H2O at 40 C. Is the solution unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated? Explain your answer. (c) Consider a solution that contains 50. g Li2SO4 in 200. g H2O at 50 C. Is this solution unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated? Explain your answer. Figure 13.10 Solubility of ionic compounds versus temperature.arrow_forward
- The freezing point of 0.10 M KHSO3 is -0.38C. Which of the following equations best represents what happens when KHSO3 dissolves in water? (a) KHSO3(s)KHSO3(aq) (b) KHSO3(s) K+(aq)+HSO3(aq) (c) KHSO3(s) K+(aq)+SO32(aq)+ H+(aq)arrow_forwardSome lithium chloride, LiCl, is dissolved in 100 mL of water in one beaker, and some Li2SO4 is dissolved in 100 mL of water in another beaker. Both are at 10 C, and both are saturated solutions; some solid remains undissolved in each beaker. Describe what you would observe as the temperature is raised. The following data are available to you from a handbook of chemistry:arrow_forwardA 12.0-g sample of a nonelectrolyte is dissolved in 80.0 g of water. The solution freezes at -1.94 C. Calculate the molar mass of the substance.arrow_forward
- How are the boiling point and freezing point of water affected by the addition of solute?arrow_forwardButane, C4H10, has been suggested as the refrigerant in household compressors such as those found in air conditioners. (a) To what extent is butane soluble in water? Calculate the butane concentration in water if the pressure of the gas is 0.21 atm. (kH = 0.0011 mol/kgbar at 25 C) (b) If the pressure of butane is increased to 1.0 atm, does the butane concentration increase or decrease?arrow_forwardThe freezing point of a 0.21 m aqueous solution of H2SO4 is -0.796C. (a) What is i? (b) Is the solution made up primarily of (i) H2SO4 molecules only? (ii) H+ and HSO4- ions? (iii) 2H+ and 1SO42- ions?arrow_forward
