Boiling-point elevation determining

COClj is considered generally to be soluble in diethyl ether, liquid hydrocarbons, glacial ethanoic acid, ethyl ethanoate and chlorocosane (chlorinated paraffin) [132] boiling point elevations, determined in liquid phosgene, for ethanoic anhydride and... 

Beckmann thermometer A very sensitive mercury thermometer with a small temperature range which can be changed by transferring mercury between the capillary and a bulb reservoir. Used for accurate temperature measurements in the determination of molecular weights by freezing point depression or boiling point elevation.

M depends not on the molecular sizes of the particles but on the number of particles. Measuring colligative properties such as boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and vapor pressure lowering can determine the number of particles in a sample. 

The solvent s activity can be determined by measuring the saturation vapor pressure above the solution. Such measurements are rather tedious and their accuracy at concentrations below 0.1 to 0.5M is not high enough to produce reliable data therefore, this method is used only for concentrated solutions. The activity can also be determined from the freezing-point depression or boiling-point elevation of the solution. These temperature changes must be ascertained with an accuracy of about 0.0001 K, which is quite feasible. This method is used primarily for solutions with concentrations not higher than 1M. 

An experiment is to be performed to determine the formula mass of a solute (KN03) through boiling-point elevation. 

Methods for the determination of Molecular weight based on colligative property are vapour-pressure lowering, boiling point elevation (ebulliometry), freezing-point depression (cryoscopy), and the Osmotic pressure (osmometry). 

Colligative properties are dependent on the number of particles present and are thus related to M . M values are independent of molecular size and are highly sensitive to small molecules present in the mixture. Values of are determined by Raoult s techniques, which are dependent on colligative properties such as ebulliometry (boiling point elevation), cryometry (freezing point depression), osmometry, and end-group analysis. 

Raoult s law works for small polymers as well as small molecules. Determination of M is based for both ebulliometry (boiling point elevation) and cryometry (freezing point lowering) on the Clausius-Clapeyron equation ... 

Boiling point elevations are directly proportional to the molality of a solution, but chemists have found that some solvents are more susceptible to this change than others. The formula for the change in the boiling point of a solution, therefore, contains a proportionality constant, abbreviated K, which is a property determined experimentally and must be read from a table such as Table 13-2. The formula for the boiling point elevation is... 

The use of boiling-point elevation to determine molecular weights is based upon the same type of calculation, using KB instead of Kt. 

Expensive special thermometers are usually needed for determinations of freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation but, when camphor is used, a common lab thermometer may be employed. A student mixes 0.1032 g... 

For certain liquids, tile temperature of a boiling solution of the unknown may be compared with that of boiling water at the same pressure, For a given solution, the boiling-point elevation may be calibrated in terms of specific gravity at standard temperature. Usually two resistance thermometers are used. The system finds use in the control of evaporators to determine the endpoint of evaporation, Good accuracy is achieved in the determination of one dissolved component, or of mixtures of fixed composition. 

X V iution), the determination of the molar mass of a solute requires a measurement of mass, volume, temperature, and osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressures are generally large and can be determined quite accurately, thus yielding accurate molar masses. Boiling-point elevations and freezing-point depressions are usually small and not very accurate, so molar mass determinations based on those measures often are not accurate. 

A few values of Kf and Kb are given in Table 2. For a macromolecular solution, the ideally dilute approximation holds only up to such low molality that freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation are useless for determining... 

The phenomena of freezing-point depression, boiling-point elevation, and osmotic pressure all result from the reduction in the escaping tendency of solvent in a solution due to the addition of solute. They can all be used to determine the activity of the solvent. For example, as long as pure solvent freezes out of the... 

Just as we discussed in Chapter 9, we can use measured activities of solvents (determined from vapor pressure, freezing-point depression, boiling-point elevation, or osmotic pressure) to determine activity coefficients of electrolytes in solution. For an ionic substance, the Gibbs-Duhem equation is... 

Another important equation, the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation, is derived from the Maxwell relations. A chemist may use this equation to determine the enthalpy change in a reaction, and a pharmaceutical scientist may use it to calculate colligative properties (i.e., freezing point depression and boiling point elevation). The expression for free energy with respect to temperature at constant pressure is given by Equation (1.105) ... 

By taking the slope of the plot of AG/T vs. 1/T, one can determine the enthalpy change for a reaction. The equilibrium constants at different temperatures under constant pressure, freezing point depression, and boiling point elevation may be calculated from Equation (1.116), as will be discussed in Chapter 3. 

Table 3.6 lists Kf and Kb for several solvents. In general, the higher the molar mass of the solvent, the larger the values of Kf and Kb. If the freezing point depression and boiling point elevation constants are known, the molecular weight of the dissolved solute, M2, can be determined ... 

Now that the molality is known, you can determine the boiling point elevation ... 

Show how a measurement of the boiling point elevation may be used to determine the activity coefficients of solvent and of ionic species in solution. 

For the determination of very high molar masses, freezing-point depressions, boiling-point elevations, and vapor-pressure lowerings are too small for accurate measurement. Osmotic pressures are of a convenient order of magnitude, but measurements are time-consuming. The technique to be used in this experiment depends on the determination of the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer. However, molar-mass determinations from osmotic pressures are valuable in calibrating the viscosity method.
