A 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is usually used in an automobile's engine cooling system. If a car's cooli

ng system holds 4.90 gal, what is the boiling point of the solution?

Answer:

108.25 ºC

Explanation:

The boiling point elevation for a given solute in water is given by the expression:

ΔTb = i Kbm

where ΔTb is the boiling point elevation

           i is the van´t Hoff factor

           Kb the boiling constant which for water is 0.512 ºC/molal

           m is the molality of the solution

The molality of the solution is the number of moles per kilogram of solvent. Here we run into a problem since we are not given the identity of the coolant, but a search in the literature tells you that the most typical are ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. The most common is ethylene glycol and this it the one we will using in this question.

Now the i factor in the equation above is 1 for non ionizable compounds such as ethylene glycol.

Our equation is then:

ΔTb =  Kbm

So lets calculate the molality and then ΔTb:

m = moles ethylene glycol / Kg solvent

Converting gal to L

4.90 g x 3.785 L/gal = 18.55 L

in a 50/50 blend by volume we have 9.27 L of ethylene glycol, and 9.27 L of water.

We need to convert this 9.27 l of ethylene glycol to grams assuming a solution density of 1 g/cm³

9.27 L x 1000 cm³ / L = 9273.25 cm³

mass ethylene glycol = 9273.25 cm³ x 1 g/cm³ = 9273.25 g

mol ethylene glycol = 9273.25 g/ M.W ethylene glycol

                                 = 9273.25 g / 62.07 g/mol =149.4mol

molality solution =  149.4 mol / 9.27 Kg H₂O = 16.12 m

( density of water 1 kg/L )

Finally we can calculate ΔTb:

ΔTb =  Kbm = 0.512  ºC/molal x 16.12 molal = 8.25 ºC

boiling point = 100 º C +8.25 ºC = 108.25 ºC

( You could try to solve for propylene glycol the other popular coolant which should give around 106.7 ºC )

When pure methanol is mixed with water the resulting solution feels warm would you expect this solution to be ideal?Explain
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

In ideal solutions, the interactions between solute - solvent are approximately the same as those of solute - solute and solvent - solvent, that is the interactions are to be practically indistintiguishable after disolution.

The moment we have a release of energy (the solution feels warm) we are to conclude that there are strong interactions between the water and methanol molecules so we would expect the solution to be non ideal.

The reason for the interactions is the presence of hydrogen bonds between methanol and water.

Identify which subatomic particles match each of these descriptions. One of the descriptions describes two particles. Make sure
Advocard [28]

Explanation:

protons have a relative charge of +1, they are located in the nucleus and the carry a positive charge

the electrons are negatively charged and have a charge of -1 . They are found orbiting on the shells .the electrons have a negligible mass of 1 / 1840

the neutrons have no charge they are located in the nucleus of an atom .
