1. Can An aqueous solution be prepared that is 30% by mass of KNO3 at 20 degrees Celsius? Explain.
I can't make heads or tails from my book. How can you tell???
2. Are there any exceptions to the general rule that a supersaturated solution can be made to deposit excess solute by cooling?
Again, I can't find this anywhere in my textbook, so can somebody please explain to me how you can tell?
3. An unknown compound consists of 33.81% C, 1.42% H, 45.05% O, and 19.72% N by mass. A 1.505-g sample of the compound, when dissolved in 50.00 mL benzene (d=0.879g/mL), lowers the freezing point of the benzene to 4.79 degrees Celsius. What is the molecular formula of the compound?
Here's what I have so far, and I'm not even sure if this is right:
Change in freezing point= 5.53-4.7=0.83 degrees Celsius
0.83/5.12= 0.162 molal
I don't know where to go from here. I thought you would multiply by kg of solution, but that isn't given. I tried using L of solution, but that definitely was not right. *delete me*
