Answer to: Nalorphene (C19H21NO3), similar to morphine, is used to combat withdrawal symptoms in narcotic users.

Molality = Moles of solute/Mass of solvent (in kg) 0.15 = Moles of benzoic acid/(250/1000) Moles of benzoic = (0.15 × 250)/1000 = 0.0375 Mola...

Answer to: Calculate the amount of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) required for preparing 250 mL of 0.15 M solution in methanol.

Number of moles of benzoic acid required = 0.15 × 250/ 1000 = 0.0375 moles Molar mass of benzoic acid = 7(12) + 6(1) + 2(16) = 84 + 6 + 32 = 122 g/...

Answer to: Calculate the mass percentage of aspirin (C9H8O4) in acetonitrile (CH3CN) when 6.5 g of C9H8O4 is dissolved in 450 g of CH3CN.

Mass percentage of aspirin in acetonitrile = Mass of aspirin/Mass of acetonitrile × 100 = 6.5/450 × 100 = 1.44%

Answer to: Based on solute-solvent interactions, arrange the following in order of increasing solubility in n-octane and explain.

n-Octane is non polar and can dissolve non-polar solutes. It cannot dissolve polar (and ionic) solutes. Cyclohexane is non polar. Hence, easily sol...
