A student follows a lab protocol that asks them to make an ‘alcohol’ solution for an experiment. They make a 1.00 L solution by adding 575 g of an alcohol to water. Later they realize that there were three different alcohols sitting on the lab bench and they’re not sure which one they used. The alcohols are: methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), and butanol (C4H9OH). They decide to boil the solution and they find that it boils at 106.40 °C. Using this information determine which alcohol the student used to make their solution. Density of water is 1.00 g/mL, Kb = 0.513 K/mc. Hint: you need to consider the molar masses of your alcohols.
Dilution means adding water to something so that the ratio of solute to solvent is less than in the original solution. Some people say, “Dilution is the solution to pollution.”
Do you think this statement true? Could you ever add enough water so that there would be no drink mix—that the water would be the same as in cup #6, pure water?
Do you think you could you ever add enough water to a pollutant to make it disappear completely? Why or why not?
Part B
A student placed 12.5 g of glucose (C¢H12O6) in a volumetric flask, added enough water to dissolve the glucose by swirling, then carefully added additional water until
the 100. mL mark on the neck of the flask was reached. The flask was then shaken until the solution was uniform. Á 45.0 mL sample of this glucose solution was
diluted to 0.500 L. How many grams of glucose are in 100. mL of the final solution?
