Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent that is often used to treat water. It removes dissolved iron and manganese ions by converting them into insoluble forms that can eventually be filtered out. To test the efficiency of potassium permanganate in removing iron from groundwater, a chemist prepares a 2.25 L solution of 0.10 M potassium permanganate. What mass of potassium permanganate is needed to make this solution?

36 g

The structures of two compounds found in durian fruit, pantothenic acid (C9H17NO5) and capric acid (C10H20O2), are shown below. 

Which compound is more soluble in water, and why?

a. pantothenic acid, because it contains a greater number of polar bonds than capric acid does

b. pantothenic acid, because it is less compact and has a larger surface area than capric acid does

c. capric acid, because it has a larger and more polarizable electron cloud than pantothenic acid does

d. capric acid, because it contains more carbon and hydrogen atoms than pantothenic acid does 


a. pantothenic acid, because it contains a greater number of polar bonds than capric acid does

The figure shows two identical volumetric flasks containing the same solution at two different temperatures. 

 

a. Does the molarity of the solution change with the change in temperature? Explain.

b. Does the molality of the solution change with the change in temperature. Explain. 

a. yes - the molarity changes with a change in temperature. As temperature increases, volume increases, causing the molarity to decrease and vice versa.

b. no - molality does not change with change in temperature. Even though the volume has changed due to increased KE, the mass of the solute and solvent have not changed, therefore molality stays the same

What is thermal pollution? Provide a specific example explaining how thermal pollution harms the environment.

hot or cold water is dumped into a nearby body of water, changing its temperature

the decreased solubility of O2 in water as temperature increases is one of the effects of thermal pollution - fish may suffocate under these conditions

b. two of the water molecules surrounding the Ca2+ ion are drawn in the wrong orientation

c. all of the water molecules surrounding the Cl- ions are drawn in the wrong orientation

d. the diagram indicates that the Ca2+ ion is larger than the Cl- ion, but the reverse is true

c. all of the water molecules surrounding the Cl- ions are drawn in the wrong orientation

The structures of vitamins E and B6 are shown below. Predict which is largely water soluble and which is largely fat soluble. Explain. (white = hydrogen, black = carbon, blue = nitrogen, red = oxygen)

 

Vitamin B6 is likely to be largely water soluble. The three -OH groups and the nitrogen can enter into many hydrogen bonding interactions with water

Vitamin E is likely to be largely fat soluble. The long, rod-like hydrocarbon chain will lead to stronger dispersion forces among vitamin E and the mostly nonpolar fats. Although vitamin E has one -OH and one O group, the long hydrocarbon chain prevents water from surrounding and separating the vitamin E molecules, reducing its water solubility
