Do problems 1 through 9 and either 10 or 11. You must show all of your work to receive
full credit.
1. (20)
Lead and bismuth form ideal solutions.
Predict the mole fraction solubility of lead in bismuth at 280oC,
given that for lead the melting point and enthalpy of fusion are 327oC
and 5.2 kJ mol-1, respectively.
2. (25) In
an experiment, 17.1 g of a nonvolatile solute having a molar mass of 342 g/mol,
Is dissolved in 250. g of water (molar mass = 18.02 g/mol, density = 1.00
g/mL). The cryoscopic (freezing point depression) constant of water is 1.86
K/(mol/kg) and its normal freezing point is 273.15 K.

heptane, Xheptane = 0.5.
Use the phase diagram in problem 3 to answer the questions below.

boiling first occurs?
5.
(25) A sample of aluminum (atomic mass = 26.981 u,
= 24.35 J-1
K-1 mol-1) of mass 1.75 kg, is cooled from 25.0 oC
to –5.0 oC at constant pressure, by placing it in a freezer whose
temperature is maintained at a constant value of -5.0 oC. Calculate:
(a) the entropy change of the sample.
(b) the entropy change for the surroundings (the inside of the freezer).
(c) what is the total entropy change of the sample and its surroundings? Is the value consistent with the predictions of the Second Law of thermodynamics? Please explain.

ideal gas initially occupies a volume of 50.0 L at 22 oC. It expands
isothermally and reversibly to a final volume of 150.0 L. For this process calculate:
a) q, the heat absorbed by the gas.

(20) The partial pressure of CO2 gas in a bottle
of soda pop is 4 atm. What is the molal
concentration of dissolved CO2 in the soda pop at 25oC? Use the Henry’s law constant for CO2
in water which is 1.67 x 108 Pa at 25 oC, and assume that
the soda is a solution of CO2 in pure water.
