saturated solutions
b Write a balanced chemical equation showing the products of the dissolution of Fe NO3 3. Compare the processes that occur when methanol CH3OH , hydrogen chloride HCl , and sodium hydroxide NaOH dissolve in water. Write equations and prepare sketches showing the form in which each of these compounds is present in its respective solution. What is the expected electrical conductivity of the following solutions? a NaOH aq b HCl aq c C6H12O6 aq glucose d NH3 l 14. Why are most solid ionic compounds electrically nonconductive, whereas aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors? Would you expect a liquid molten ionic compound to be electrically conductive or nonconductive? Explain. Indicate the most important type of intermolecular attraction responsible for solvation in each of the following solutions: a the solutions in Figure 11.8 b methanol, CH3OH, dissolved in ethanol, C2H5OH c methane, CH4, dissolved in benzene, C6H6 d the polar halocarbon CF2Cl2 dissolved in the polar halocarbon CF2ClCFCl2 e O2 l in N2 l 11.3 Solubility 16. Suppose you are presented with a clear solution of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3. How could you determine whether the solution is unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated? 17. Supersaturated solutions of most solids in water are prepared by cooling saturated solutions. Supersaturated solutions of most gases in water are prepared by heating saturated solutions. Explain the reasons for the difference in the two procedures. Suggest an explanation for the observations that ethanol, C2H5OH, is completely miscible with water and that ethanethiol, C2H5SH, is soluble only to the extent of 1.5 g per 100 mL of water. Calculate the percent by mass of KBr in a saturated solution of KBr in water at 10 C. See Figure 11.17 for useful data, and report the computed percentage to one significant digit. Which of the following gases is expected to be most soluble in water? Explain your reasoning. a CH4 b CCl4.
