Solutions molality and

Note For dilute solutions, the molar and molal solubilities will be essentially equal as in the example above. This is because 1 L of water has a mass very nearly equal to 1 kg at 25°C and the mass of the solute is very small compared with that of the solvent. In concentrated solutions, the mass of the solute becomes an appreciable fraction of the mass of the solution, and a liter of solution contains substantially less than 1 kg of water. In such a solution, molality and molarity can differ considerably. 

Finally from the Gibbs-Duhem equation and Equations 6 we obtain Equation 7 which gives the solvent (water) chemical potential in terms of solute molalities and the aforementioned coefficients. 

Equations 6 and 7 are the fundamental expressions giving the chemical potentials as functions of solute molalities and Hill osmotic virial coefficients. 

To calculate the freezing point of the solution, we need the solution molality and the freezing-point... 

In this equation, z+ and z are the charge numbers of the cation and anion of the solute. Since the right side of Eq. 10.4.7 is negative at finite solute molalities, and zero at infinite dilution, the theory predicts that y is less than 1 at finite solute molalities and approaches 1 at infinite dilution. 

The value of Asoi f at a given T and p depends only on the solution molality and not on the amount of solution. 

Since solute molality and concentration are proportional to mole fraction in dilute solu-tions, the ratios and also approach constant values at a given T and p. The... 

Some other concentration units are defined in terms of the mass or molar amount of solvent or solution. The most important of these are mass (or weight) percentage of solute, molality, and mole fraction. 

Fig. 6.21 Cumulative enthalpy of dilution of a 0.009 mol kg aqueous solution of hexade-cyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) at 303 K as a function of (a) the solute molality and (b) the injection number [88]. The solution is regarded as a binary system the solute ions HTA+ and Br form together the mean solute. Plot a the intersection of the two linear portions provides estimate of the critical micelle concentration for HTAB Plot b the enthalpy of HTAB micellisation is determined directly from the difference between the slopes of the two linear regression segments...

PRACTICE EXAMPLE B You want to prepare an aqueous solution that has a freezing point of -0.100 "C. How many milliliters of 12.0 M HCl would you use to prepare 250.0 mL of such a solution [Hint Note that in a dilute aqueous solution, molality and molarity are essentially numerically equal.]... 

There is a number of very pleasing and instructive relationships between adsorption from a binary solution at the solid-solution interface and that at the solution-vapor and the solid-vapor interfaces. The subject is sufficiently specialized, however, that the reader is referred to the general references and, in particular, to Ref. 153. Finally, some studies on the effect of high pressure (up to several thousand atmospheres) on binary adsorption isotherms have been reported [154]. Quite appreciable effects were found, indicating that significant partial molal volume changes may occur on adsorption.

Molality and Activities on the Molality Scale. In order to give a numerical value to the concentration of a solution, it is customary to... 

Let x and x denote the mole fractions of the two sparingly soluble solids in their respective saturated solutions let y and y denote their mole ratios, m and ml their molalities, and a and a their activities on the molality scale. If the saturated solutions are sufficiently dilute, we may, with sufficient accuracy, neglect the differences between the four ratios x/x, y/yf, m/m, and a/a. We can express the difference between the cratic terms by means of any of these quantities, thus,... 

Finally, as an example of a highly soluble salt, we may take sodium chloride at 25° the concentration of the saturated solution is 6.16 molal. The activity coefficient of NaCl, like that of NaBr plotted in Fig. 72, passes through a minimum at a concentration between 1.0 and 1.5 molal and it has been estimated2 that in the saturated solution the activity coefficient has risen to a value very near unity. Writing y = 1.0, we find that the work required to take a pair of ions from the surface of NaCl into pure water at 25° has the rather small value... 

A bottle of phosphoric acid is labeled 85.0% H3PO4 by mass density = 1.689 g/cm3. Calculate the molarity, molality, and mole fraction of the phosphoric acid in solution. 

Relative partial molar enthalpies can be used to calculate AH for various processes involving the mixing of solute, solvent, and solution. For example, Table 7.2 gives values for L and L2 for aqueous sulfuric acid solutions7 as a function of molality at 298.15 K. Also tabulated is A, the ratio of moles H2O to moles H2S(V We note from the table that L — L2 — 0 in the infinitely dilute solution. Thus, a Raoult s law standard state has been chosen for H20 and a Henry s law standard state is used for H2SO4. The value L2 = 95,281 Tmol-1 is the extrapolated relative partial molar enthalpy of pure H2SO4. It is the value for 77f- 77°. 

In an electrolyte solution, each formula unit contributes two or more ions. Sodium chloride, for instance, dissolves to give Na+ and Cl ions, and both kinds of ions contribute to the depression of the freezing point. The cations and anions contribute nearly independently in very dilute solutions, and so the total solute molality is twice the molality of NaCl formula units. In place of Eq. 5a we write...

If the validity of Eq. (1.3.31) is assumed for the mean activity coefficient of a given electrolyte even in a mixture of electrolytes, and quantity a is calculated for the same measured electrolyte in various mixtures, then different values are, in fact, obtained which differ for a single total solution molality depending on the relative representation and individual properties of the ionic components. 

Both molarity (Chap. 10) and normality (Chap. 15) are defined in terms of a volume. Since the volume is temperature-dependent, so are the molarity and normality of the solution. Two units of concentration that are independent of temperature are introduced in this chapter. Molality is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent in a solution. The symbol for molality is m. Note the differences between molality and molarity ... 

This choice of a standard state seems like impossible mental gymnastics, but it allows activity to follow a molal scale, so that in dilute solutions activity and molality - despite the fact that activity is unitless - are equivalent numerically. A species molality m , the number of moles of the species per kilogram of solvent, is related to its activity by... 

The freezing point depression is proportional to the product of the solute s molality and the van t Hoff factor. For nonelectrolytes, such as C2H5OH (0.050 m), i = 1, and thus... 

First compute the molality of the benzene solution, then the number of moles of solute dissolved, and finally the molar mass of the unknown compound. 

The interconversion between molal and molar expressions can be done if the density of solution at 25°C is known. The density should be that of the solution at the freezing point. The grams of solute per milliliter should also be measured at 25°C. The relation can be expressed as ... 

We already have the van t Hoff factor, the Kb, and solution molality so we can simply substitute ... 

In this chapter, you learned about solutions. A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent and one or more solutes. Solutions may be unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated. Solution concentration units include percentage, molarity, molality, and mole fraction. The solubility of solids in liquids normally increases with increasing temperature, but the reverse is true of gases dissolving in liquids. The solubility of gases in liquids increases with increasing pressure.
