which takes me a lot of time and effort. They have not been copied from the textbook

CH4 molecules.

To find the heat need to vaporize 275 μL, we must find out how many moles there are. L, we must find out how many moles there are.
We are given the volume and density. Find mass first.

Solutions to Chapter 11 Practice Problems (Watts).

Note: these are my solutions. I have worked them out and typed them from scratch,

which takes me a lot of time and effort. They have not been copied from the textbook

publisher’s materials.

Problem 9

The intermolecular forces between H 2 O molecules are much stronger than those between

CH 4 molecules.

Problem 18

Vaporization of CS 2 ( l ): CS 2 ( l ) → CS 2 (g)

We need the enthalpy of vaporization: ΔHvap = 27.4 kJ/mol (see Table 11.1, page 435)Hvap = 27.4 kJ/mol (see Table 11.1, page 435)

To find the heat need to vaporize 275 μL, we must find out how many moles there are. L, we must find out how many moles there are.

We are given the volume and density. Find mass first.

Problem 22

The equation given tells us the ΔHvap = 27.4 kJ/mol (see Table 11.1, page 435)H for combustion of one mole of pentane (C 5 H 12 ) is -

3.51 x 10

3 kJ, i.e. combustion of one mole of pentane produces 3.51 x 10

3 kJ of heat. We

need to find how much heat will be produced from the combustion of 1.25 g of pentane.

Hence, 60.7 kJ can vaporize 1.91 mol of hexane. Therefore, the heat required to vaporize

Problem 28

This involves a gas law calculation on silver vapor. We are given the volume (486 mL =

0.486 L), temperature (

o C = 1633.15 K), and pressure (1.00 mmHg = 1.32 x 10

atm).

We use the ideal gas equation to find the number of moles of Ag atoms. Then we use

Avogadro’s number to find the number of Ag atoms.

Problem 38

We first have to calculate the heat of combustion of 3.12 L of CH 4 (g) (at 25 oC and 753

mmHg). To do this, we must first calculate the number of moles of CH 4 , then use the

given ΔHvap = 27.4 kJ/mol (see Table 11.1, page 435)H for combustion of 1 mol (-890.3 kJ).

T = 25 oC = 298.15 K. P = 753 mmHg = 0.991 atm. V = 3.12 L.

PV n

Heat of combustion of this much CH 4 :

ΔHvap = 27.4 kJ/mol (see Table 11.1, page 435)H = 0.126 mol (-890.3 kJ/mol) = -112 kJ

The final issue is what mass of ice can be melted by 112 kJ. The ΔHvap = 27.4 kJ/mol (see Table 11.1, page 435)Hfusion of ice is 6.01 kJ/

mol. So how many moles of ice could 112 kJ melt?

for Cl 2 and CCl 4 , Cl 2 will have the lower melting point (smaller dispersion forces than

CCl 4 ). Overall ranking in order of increasing melting point:

Cl 2 < CCl 4 < CsCl < MgCl 2

Problem 60

Most likely ethylene glycol (EG) has the higher surface tension. It would probably has

stronger intermolecular forces than isopropyl alcohol (IA): their molar masses are not

much different, but EG has 2 OH groups, while IA has only one.

I looked up the data to check. The surface tensions (in units of dyne/cm) are:

Ethylene glycol 47.7 Isopropyl alcohol 21.

Problem 68

The face-centered cubic unit cell is shown on page 472 (Figure 11.47). It contains 4 K+

ions and 4 Cl- ions:

Green ions: 8 x 1/8 (from the 8 vertices (corners)) + 6 x ½ (from the 6 faces)

Purple ions: 1 in the middle + 4 x ¼ (top) + 4 x ¼ (bottom) + 4 x ¼ (middle)

Mass of the unit cell of KCl:

4 x (39.0983 + 35.4527) u = 298.2040 u

Length of one side of the unit cell:

2 x 314.54 pm = 629.08 pm = 6.2908 x 10-10^ m

Volume of one unit cell: (cube the length of one side)

2.4895 x 10-28^ m^3 = 2.4895 x 10-22^ cm^3

Density of KCl (in units of u cm

  • ): (divide mass of unit cell by volume)

Since the measured density is 1.9893 g cm

  • , 1.1978 x 10

24 u = 1.9893 g. Hence, based on

the measured density and internuclear distance, Avogadro’s number is 1.1978 x 10^24 /

1.9893 = 6.0212 x 10

23 .

Problem 70

Based on the figure, there are 4 Ca

2+ ions per unit cell (8 x 1/8 from the cornbers; 6 x ½

from the faces) and 8 F

  • ions per unit cell. Hence, the formula CaF 2 is consistent with the

unit cell.

Coordination numbers: 8 for Ca2+; 4 for F-. We wouldn’t expect them to be the same

because of the stoichometry. For a compound like NaCl, we would expect the same

coordination numbers.
