Magnesium chloride is an important coagulant used in the preparation of tofu from soy milk. Its solubility in water at 20C is 54.6 g/100 g. At 80C, its solubility is 66.1 g/100 g. A mixture is made up of 16.2 g of magnesium chloride and 38.2 g of water at 20C. (a) Is the mixture homogeneous? If it is, how many more grams of magnesium chloride are required to make a saturated solution? If the mixture is not homogeneous, how many grams of magnesium chloride are undissolved? (b) How many more grams of magnesium chloride are needed to make a saturated solution at 80C?
An antifreeze solution is made by mixing ethylene glycol (p = 1116 kg/m³) with water. Suppose the specific gravity of such a solution is 1.08. Assuming that the total volume of the solution is the sum of its parts, determine the volume percentage of ethylene glycol in the solution. Number i Units
A mixture of methanol and water contains 60.0% water by mass. Assuming volume additivity: If the actual specific gravity of the mixture is 0.9345: How many liters is required to provide 150 mol of methanol?
In an experiment, a student was asked to measure the densities of liquid acetone and metallic chromium. He was given a pycnometer which weighed 26.880 g empty. When filled with water and stoppered, the mass was recorded as 54.992g at 28C. The pycnometer was cleaned and filled with acetone. The mass was 49.137 g. Again, the flask was cleaned and dried. Into it were added some chunks of chromium and the total was found to weight 78.666 g. Leaving the chromium in the pycnometer, it was then filled with acetone. The flask, metal and acetone were found to weigh 95.199 g. From this data, calculate the density of acetone and the density of chromium (show all your calculations).
