4. Calculate the heat of hydration for the following ionic solids.
a. KF
b. RbF
c. Compare the ion-dipole forces for K+ vs. Rb+ in H2O
ΔHhydration = ΔHLE + ΔHsol’n
KF ⇒ ΔHhydration = (-804kJ/mol) + (-15kJ/mol) = -819kJ/mol
RbF ⇒ ΔHhydration = (-768kJ/mol) + (-24kJ/mol) = -792kJ/mol
Since both species have fluoride we can compare the ion-dipole forces
of K+ vs. Rb+ ⇒ the more negative the heat of hydration the stronger
the force ⇒ K+ has the stronger ion-dipole force ⇒ this makes sense
since K+ is smaller and can form shorter/stronger bonds with water

8. Toluene and benzene form an ideal solution. What is the vapor
pressure of a solution prepared by mixing 40 g of toluene with 15 g
of benzene at 25 °C? At 25 °C the vapor pressures of pure toluene
and pure benzene are 28 and 95 torr respectively.
(40g)/(92.15g/mol) = 0.43 mol toluene
(15g)/(78.12g/mol) = 0.19 mol benzene
Ptoluene = (0.43 mol/0.62 mol)(28 torr) = 19.6 torr
Pbenzene = (0.19 mol/0.62 mol)(95 torr) = 29.1 torr
Psolution = 48.7 torr

9. Pentane and hexane form an ideal solution. What composition of a
pentane and hexane solution at 25 °C would give a vapor pressure
of 350 torr? At 25 °C the vapor pressures of pure pentane and
hexane are 511 torr and 150 torr respectively.
Ptotal = Ppentane + Phexane
Ptotal = XpPp° + XhPh°
Since Xp + Xh = 1 => Xp = 1 – Xh
Ptotal = (1 – Xh) Pp° + XhPh°
350 torr = (1 – Xh)(511 torr) + Xh(150 torr)
Xh = 0.45 => Xp = 0.55

since they are outside on the high side the solution will have positive
deviations

VP will result in the lowest BP => XH2O = 0.58

13. Calculate the boiling point and freezing point of a solution made by
dissolving 110 g of K3PO4 (212.3g/mol) in 800 mL of water at 1
atm. For water kb = 0.51 °Ckg/mol and kf = 1.86 °Ckg/mol.
(110 g K3PO4)/(212.3g/mol) = 0.52 mol K3PO4
m = 0.52 mol/0.8 kg = 0.65m
ΔTf = -(0.65 mol/kg)(4)(1.86 °Ckg/mol) = -4.8°C
ΔTb = (0.65 mol/kg)(4)(0.51°Ckg/mol) = 1.3°C
Since pure water has a FP = 0°C and BP = 100°C then the
solution will have a FP = -4.8°C and BP = 101.3°C

100.8 g of water has a vapor pressure of 25.81 torr at 27 °C. What is
the molar mass of the solute? The vapor pressure of water at 27 °C is
26.74 torr.
molar mass = g/mol => given grams and you can get moles from
Pwater = XwaterPwater° => nsolute = (nwPw°/Pw) – (nw) =>
nsolute = (100.8g/18g/mol)(26.74torr)/(25.81torr) – (100.8g/18g/mol)
nsolute = 0.202 mole
molar mass = 29.4g/0.202mol = 146g/mol
