This figure shows the interaction of a cation with surrounding water molecules. (b) Which of the following explanations accounts for the fact that the ion–solvent interaction is greater for Li+ than for K+? a. Li+ is of lower mass than K+. b. The ionization energy of Li is higher than that for K. c. Li+ has a smaller ionic radius than K+. d. Li has a lower density than K. e. Li reacts with water more slowly than K. [Section 13.1]
Consider two ionic solids, both composed of singly charged ions, that have different lattice energies. (b) If not, which solid will be more soluble in water, the one with the larger lattice energy or the one with the smaller lattice energy? Assume that solute–solvent interactions are the same for both solids. [Section 13.1]
The structures of vitamins E and B6 are shown below. Predict which is more water soluble and which is more fat soluble. [Section 13.3]
This portion of a phase diagram shows the vapor–pressure curves of a volatile solvent and of a solution of that solvent containing a nonvolatile solute. (b) What are the normal boiling points of the solvent and the solution? [Section 13.5]
Suppose you had a balloon made of some highly flexible semipermeable membrane. The balloon is filled completely with a 0.2 M solution of some solute and is submerged in a 0.1 M solution of the same solute:
Initially, the volume of solution in the balloon is 0.25 L. Assuming the volume outside the semipermeable membrane is large, as the illustration shows, what would you expect for the solution volume inside the balloon once the system has come to equilibrium through osmosis? [Section 13.5]
The diagrams shown represent an emulsion, a true solution, and a liquid crystal. The colored balls represent different liquid molecules. Which diagram corresponds to which type of mixture? [Section 13.6]
