1. 2.00 g R was shaken with a mixture of 100 mL hexane and 50 mL water. At equilibrium the water layer was found
to contain 0.400 g R. Calculate the partition coefficient of R between hexane and water. 2.00

2. A solution of P in water was shaken with some benzene, and the concentrations of P in both solvents were
measured. The concentration of P in water was 0.00100 mol/mL and its concentration in benzene was found to be
0.0200 mol/mL. Calculate the partition coefficient for P between benzene and water. 20.0

3. A mixture of gases contains 4.46 moles of neon (Ne), 0.74 mole of argon (Ar), and 2.15 moles of xenon (Xe).
Calculate the partial pressures of the gases if the total pressure is 2.00 atm at a certain temperature.
P(Ne) = 1.21 atm, P(Ar) = 0.20 atm, P(Xe) = 0.586 atm
4. Consider the three gas containers shown here. All of them have the same volume and are at the same temperature.
(a) Which container has the smallest mole fraction of gas A (blue sphere)? (b) Which container has the highest
partial pressure of gas B (green sphere)? A (iii), B (iii)

5. Calculate the vapor pressure of a solution made by dissolving 218 g of glucose (molar mass = 180.2 g/mol) in 460
mL of water at 30°C. What is the vapor-pressure lowering? The vapor pressure of pure water at 30°C is 31.82 mmHg.
Assume the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL. P (glucose) = 30.4 mmHg; lowering = 1.4 mmHg

6. Ethylene glycol (EG), CH2(OH)CH2(OH), is a common automobile antifreeze. It is water soluble and fairly nonvolatile.
Calculate the freezing point and boiling point of a solution containing 651 g of this substance in 2505 g of water.
The molar mass of ethylene glycol is 62.01 g/mol. (Kf (water) = 1.86°C/m; Kb (water) = 0.52°C/m)
-7.79°C
102.2°C
