Calculating Molality - I
To calculate Molality (mol/kg), we need the number of moles of
solute, and the mass of solvent used to dissolve the solute!
Normally, we are given the mass of solute, and mass of solvent,
therefore we calculate the moles of the solute from the mass, then
use the mass of the solvent to calculate the molality.
Remember:
Molality is different from Molarity
Mass (g) of solute
M (g/mole)
Molality is based on mass, and is
independent of temperature or
pressure (unlike molarity)
Because 1 L of H2O weighs 1 kg,
molality and molarity of dilute
aquous solutions are nearly identical
Moles of Solute
divide by kg water
Molality (m) of solution

Calculating Molality - II
Problem: Determine the molality and molarity of a solution prepared
by dissolving 75.0g Ba(NO3)2 (s) in to 374.00g of water at 250C.
Plan: We convert the quantity of Ba(NO3)2 to moles using the molar
mass and then divide by the volume of H2O in liters (using water
density = 0.99707 g/ml3).
Solution: molar mass of Ba(NO3)2 = 261.32 g/mol
75.0 g
moles Ba(NO3)2 =
= 0.28700 mole
261.32 g/mol
molality = 0.28700 mole = 0.76739 m = 0.767 m
0.37400 kg
molarity - we need the volume of solution, and can assume that
addition of the salt did not change the total volume.
374.00 g H2O = 375.099 ml = 0.375099 l
0.99707 g/ml
M = 0.28700 mole = 0.765 M
0.375099 l
Expressing Concentrations in Parts by Mass
Problem: Calculate the PPB by mass of Iron in a 1.85 g Iron
supplement pill that contains 0.0543 µg of Iron.
Plan: Convert µg Fe to grams and then use Fe/ mass pill and
multiply by 109 to obtain PPB.
Solution: 0.0543µg Fe = 5.43 x 10 - 8 g Fe
5.43 x 10 - 8 g Fe x 109
= 2.94 PPB
1.85 g

Expressing Concentrations in Parts by Volume
Problem: The label on a can of beer (340 ml) indicates “4.5% alcohol
by volume”. What is the volume in liters of alcohol it contains?
Plan: we know the vol% and the total volume so we use the definition
to find the volume of alcohol.
Solution:
Vol Alcohol = 4.5 ml alcohol x 340 ml beer
100 ml beer
= 15.3 ml alcohol
Expressing Concentrations in Mole Fraction
Problem: A sample of alcohol contains 118g of ethanol (C2H5OH), and
375.0g of water. What are the mole fractions of each?
Plan: we know the mass and formula of each compound so we convert
both to moles and apply the definition of mole fraction.
Solution:
Moles Ethanol = 118g Ethanol = 2.744 mol Ethanol
43g Ethanol/mol
Moles Water =
395g H2O = 21.94 mol H O

Converting Concentration Units
Problem: Commercial concentrated Hydrochloric acid is 11.8 M HCl
and has a density of 1.190g/ml. Calculate the (a) mass% HCl,
(b) molality and (c) mole fraction of HCl.
Plan: We know Molarity and density. (a) For mass% HCl we need the
mass of HCl and water (the solvent). Assume 1L of solution, from
the density we know the mass of the solution, and from the
molecular mass of HCl we calculate its mass. (b) We know moles
of HCl and mass of water (c) we use moles HCl from(a) and use
the mass of water to get moles of water then calculate mole
fractions and add them to check!
Solution:

Definitions
Saturated - A solution containing the maximum amount of solute that
will dissolve under a given set of conditions.
Unsaturated - A solution that contains less than the saturation quantity
of solute. More solute may be added and it will dissolve.
Supersaturated - A solution prepared at an elevated temperature and
then slowly cooled so that more than the usual
maximum amount of solute remains dissolved.

For all gasses: ∆Hsolute ≈ 0, so ∆Hsoln < 0
Gas solubility always decreases with increasing T!
The Effect of Pressure on Gas Solubility:
Henry’s Law: Sgas = kH x Pgas
6
Henry’s Law of Gas Solubility
Problem: The lowest level of oxygen gas dissolved in water that will
support life is ~ 1.3 x10-4 mol/L. At the normal atmospheric pressure of
oxygen is there adequate oxygen to support life in water?
Plan: We will use Henry’s law and the Henry’s law constant for oxygen
in water with the partial pressure of O2 in the air to calculate the amount
of O2 dissolved in water under atmospheric conditions.
Solution:
The Henry’s law constant for oxygen in water is 1.3 x 10 -3 mol
liter atm
and the partial pressure of oxygen gas in the atmosphere is ~21%,
or 0.21 atm.
Soxygen = kH x PO2 = 1.3 x 10 -3 mol x (0.21 atm)
liter atm
.
.
SOxygen = 2.7 x 10 - 4 mol O2 / liter
This is adequate to sustain life in water!
Effect of Temperature: Heat of Solution
Solubility increases with temperature if the solution process is
endothermic:
Solute + Solvent + Heat
Solution
Solubility decreases with temperature if the solution process is
exothermic:
Solute + Solvent
Solution + Heat

Predicting the Effect of Temperature
on Solubility - I
Problem: From the following information, predict whether the
solubility of each compound increases or decreases with an increase in
temperature.
(a) CsOH
Hsoln = -72 kJ/mol
(b) When CsI dissolves in water the water becomes cold
(c) KF(s) H2O K+(aq) + F -(aq) + 17.7 kJ
Plan: Write a chemical reaction that includes heat being absorbed
(left) or released (right). If heat is on the left, a temperature increase
shifts to the equilibrium to the right, so more solute dissolves, and visa
versa.
Solution:
(a) The negative H indicates that the reaction is exothermic, so
when one mole of Cesium Hydroxide dissolves, 72 kJ of heat is released.
8
Predicting the Effect of Temperature
on Solubility - II
(a) continued
CsOH(s)
H2O
Cs+(aq) + OH -(aq) + Heat
A higher temperature (more heat) decreases the solubility of CsOH.
(b) When CsI dissolves, the solution becomes cold, so heat is absorbed.
H2O
CsI(s) + Heat
Cs+(aq) + I -(aq)
A higher temperature increases the solubility of CsI.
(c) When KF dissolves, heat is on the product side, and is given off
so the reaction is exothermic.
H2O
K+(aq) + F -(aq) + Heat
KF(s)
A higher temperature decreases the solubility of KF

pressure of pure water at 750C is 289.1 mm Hg, and it’s
density is 0.97489 g/ml.
Plan: Calculate the change in pressure from Raoult’s law using the
vapor pressure of pure water at 750C. We calculate the mole
fraction of sugar in solution using the molecular formula of
sucrose and density of water at 750C.

Recall: The normal boiling point (Tb) of a liquid is the
temperature at which its vapor pressure equals atmospheric
pressure.
Nonvolatile solutes lower the vapor pressure of a liquid
Æ greater temperature required to reach boiling point

Determining Molar Mass from
Osmotic Pressure
Problem: A physician studying hemoglobin dissolves 21.5mg of the
protein in water at 5.0oC to make 1.5 ml of solution in order to
measure its osmotic pressure. At equilibrium, the solution has an
osmotic pressure of 3.61 torr. What is the molar mass (M) of the
hemoglobin?
Plan: We know Π, R, and T. We convert Π from torr to atm, and T
from oC to K, and then use the osmotic pressure equation to solve for
molarity (M). Then we calculate the number of moles of hemoglobin
from the known volume and use the known mass to find M.
Solution:
P = 3.61 torr . 1 atm = 0.00475 atm
760 torr
Temp = 5.00C + 273.15 = 278.15 K

in similar intermolecular interactions (∆Hsoln = 0)
