Chemistry 65.100 A and V
Fourth Test
March 2, 2001

Part A. Answer all questions (5 marks each)

1. Referring to the phase diagram for water shown below, identify all of the phases present at points A through G. Name points E and H. What are the temperatures (in degrees C) at points F and G?

2. Why is a solution of NH4Cl(aq) acidic?

3. Why is freshwater naturally acidic?

4. Why does Xe have a higher boiling temperature than Ar? Answer in terms of intermolecular forces.

5. Why is HClO a stronger acid than HBrO?

6. Would the solubility of CaF2(s) increase or decrease as the pH is raised? Why? (HF(aq) is a weak acid.)

Part B. Answer one of the following two questions. (20 marks). If you answer both, the best one will be used to calculate your mark for part B.

1. A solution is made by dissolving 3.00 mole of CaCl2(s) in enough water to make 2.00 L of solution. The density of the solution is 1.25 g/mL.

(a) Calculate the molality of the solution (not the molarity!)
(b) Calculate the freezing point (oC) of the solution. (For water, Kf = 1.86oC kg mol-1)
(c) Calculate the boiling point (oC) of the solution. (For water, Kb = 0.51oC kg mol-1.)
(d) Calculate the osmotic pressure (atm) of the solution at 25oC. (R = 0.082 L atm K-1mol-1)
(e) Calculate the vapor pressure (mm Hg) of the solution at 25oC. (The vapor pressure of pure water at 25oC is 23.8 mm Hg.)

2. The normal boiling point of isooctane (a component of gasoline) is 99.2oC and its enthalpy of vaporization is 35.76 kJ/mol. Calculate the vapor pressure of isooctane at 25oC. R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1.

Part C. Answer one of the following two questions. (20 marks). If you answer both, the best one will be used to calculate your mark for part C.

3. A buffered solution contains 0.25 M NH3(aq) (Kb = 1.8 x 10-5) and 0.40 M NH4Cl(aq).

(a) Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate the pH of this solution.
(b) 0.05 mol of HCl are added to 1 L of the buffer solution. Calculate the resultant pH.

4. Calculate the pH and concentrations of all species present (i.e. H2SO3, HSO3-, SO3-2 and H3O+) in a 1 M aqueous solution of sulfurous acid, H2SO3. For this acid, Ka1 = 0.015 and Ka2 = 6.3 x 10-8.
