(a)
Interpretation:
The concentration of benzoic acid in mass percentage has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Mass percentage: The mass percentage gives the number of grams of solute present in 100g of solution. The formula of mass percentage is,
(b)
Interpretation:
The concentration of benzoic acid in mole fraction has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Mole fraction: Mole fraction of a substance in a solution is the number of moles of that substance divided by the total number of moles of all substances present. The formula is,
(c)
Interpretation:
The concentration of benzoic acid in molality has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Molality: Molality is defined as moles of solute per specified amount of mass of the solvent. The formula is,

Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- Common commercial acids and bases are aqueous solutions with the following properties: Density (g/cm3) Mass Percent of Solute Hydrochloric acid 1.19 38 Nitric acid 1.42 70. Sulfuric acid 1.84 95 Acetic acid 1.05 99 Ammonia 0.95 28 Calculate the molarity, molality, and mole fraction of each of the preceding reagents.arrow_forwardInsulin is a hormone responsible for the regulation of glucose levels in the blood. An aqueous solution of insulin has an osmotic pressure of 2.5 mm Hg at 25C. It is prepared by dissolving 0.100 g of insulin in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. What is the molar mass of insulin?arrow_forward6-111 As noted in Section 6-8C, the amount of external pressure that must be applied to a more concentrated solution to stop the passage of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane is known as the osmotic pressure The osmotic pressure obeys a law similar in form to the ideal gas law (discussed in Section 5-4), where Substituting for pressure and solving for osmotic pressures gives the following equation: RT MRT, where M is the concentration or molarity of the solution. (a) Determine the osmotic pressure at 25°C of a 0.0020 M sucrose (C12H22O11) solution. (b) Seawater contains 3.4 g of salts for every liter of solution. Assuming the solute consists entirely of NaCl (and complete dissociation of the NaCI salt), calculate the osmotic pressure of seawater at 25°C. (c) The average osmotic pressure of blood is 7.7 atm at 25°C. What concentration of glucose (C6H12O6) will be isotonic with blood? (d) Lysozyme is an enzyme that breaks bacterial cell walls. A solution containing 0.150 g of this enzyme in 210. mL of solution has an osmotic pressure of 0.953 torr at 25°C. What is the molar mass of lysozyme? (e) The osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution of a certain protein was measured in order to determine the protein's molar mass. The solution contained 3.50 mg of protein dissolved in sufficient water to form 5.00 mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of the solution at 25°C was found to be 1.54 torr. Calculate the molar mass of the protein.arrow_forward
- What mass of a 4.00% NaOH solution by mass contains 15.0 g of NaOH?arrow_forwardA patient has a “cholesterol count” of 214. Like manyblood-chemistry measurements,this result is measured inunits of milligrams per deciliter (mgdL1). Determine the molar concentration of cholesterol inthis patient’s blood, taking the molar mass of cholesterolto be 386.64gmol1. Estimate the molality of cholesterol in the patient’sblood. If 214 is a typical cholesterol reading among men inthe United States, determine the volume of such bloodrequired to furnish 8.10 g of cholesterol.arrow_forwardCalculate the molality of a solution made by dissolving 115.0 g ethylene glycol, HOCH2CH2OH, in 500. mL water. The density of water at this temperature is 0.978 g/mL. Calculate the molarity of the solution.arrow_forward
