What would be the effect of each of the following on the calculated molecular weight of the solute?
A)some cyclohexane evaporated while the freezing point of pure cuclohexane was being measured.
B)some cyclohexane evaporated after the solute was added.
C)a foreign solute was already present in the cyclohexane.
D) the thermometer is not calibrated correctly.it gives a temperature that is 1.5 c too low at all temperatures

Answer #1

A and B. The solution becomes more concentrated because the volume decreases. The higher concentration will depress the freezing point so it appears as an decrease in molecular weight. It is a decrease because the same mass causes an increased depression.

C. Again, the freezing point will be depressed a bit more due to the contamination and the solute will appear to have a smaller molecular weight.

D. If you don't know the error, the freezing point will appear to be a lower temperature, again resulting in an apparent lower molecular weight.

Discussion. Explain whether each of the errors below would cause your calculated Ksp value to be higher or lower than the tabulated value. Assume you are using method 1 to calculate Ksp. It is also possible that the error would have no effect on the measured Ksp value (so it really wouldn’t be an error). (1 point each) 1.

Cholera and other diarrheal diseases cause nearly 2 billion cases of diarrhea annually. Cholera toxin and other bacterial toxins cause the intestine to secrete fluid into the lumen of the gut, depleting the extracellular fluid (ECF) volume. If fluid loss is not matched with fluid intake (law of mass balance), the result is severe dehydration, circulatory collapse, and even death. Drinking a rehydration solution is the most rapid and effective way to replace the large volumes of water lost by...
