Get started for freeMaking mayonnaise involves beating oil into small droplets in water, in the presence of egg yolk. What is the purpose of the egg yolk? (Hint: Egg yolk contains lecithins, which are molecules with a polar head and a long nonpolar hydrocarbon tail.)
Arrange the following solutions in order of decreasing freezing point: \(0.10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}, 0.35 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{NaCl}, 0.20 \mathrm{~m}\) \(\mathrm{MgCl}_{2}, 0.15 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}, 0.15 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\)
What masses of sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, sodium sulfate, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium bicarbonate are needed to produce \(1 \mathrm{~L}\) of artificial seawater for an aquarium? The required ionic concentrations are \(\left[\mathrm{Na}^{+}\right]=2.56 M,\left[\mathrm{~K}^{+}\right]=0.0090 M\), \(\left[\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}\right]=0.054 \mathrm{M},\left[\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\right]=0.010 \mathrm{M},\left[\mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-}\right]=\) \(0.0020 M,\left[\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\right]=2.60 \mathrm{M},\left[\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\right]=0.051 \mathrm{M}\)
Describe how you would use freezing-point depression and osmotic pressure measurements to determine the molar mass of a compound. Why are boiling-point elevation and vapor-pressure lowering normally not used for this purpose?
How does each of the following affect the solubility of an ionic compound: (a) lattice energy, (b) solvent (polar versus nonpolar), (c) enthalpies of hydration of cation and anion?
