Dimethylglyoxime, DMG, is an organic compound used to test for aqueous nickel(II) ions. A solution prepared by dissolving 65.0 g of DMG in 375 g of ethanol boils at 80.3°C. What is the molar mass of DMG? Kb = 1.22°C/m, boiling point of pure ethanol = 78.5°C

Respuesta :

Answer:

117.5 g/mol.

Explanation:

ΔTb = Kb · bB

where,

ΔTb = the boiling point elevation = Tb (solution) - Tb (pure solvent).

Kb = the ebullioscopic constant

bB = the molality of the solution

ΔTb = 80.3 - 78.5

= 1.8 °C

1.8 = 1.22 x bB

= 1.475 mol/kg

Molality is the number of moles of the solute divided by the mass of the solvent.

Number of moles solute = 1.475 * 0.375

= 0.55 mol

Molar mass = mass/number of moles

= 65.0/0.55

= 117.5 g/mol.

In the given case, the molar mass of Dimethylglyoxime is - 117.48 g / mol

Given:

Kb = 1.22°C/m

boiling point of pure ethanol = 78.5°C

solution of DMG in ethanol boils = 80.3°C

Solution:

We know that Colligative Property problems can be solved by the following equation:

dTb = Kb × m

Where

Tb = elevation in boiling point

= boiling point of solution - boiling point of pure ethanol

= 80.3 - 78.5

= 1.8 degree Celsius

and, Kb = elevation in boiling point constant

= 1.22 degree C / m

=> m = molality of the solution

= [tex]\frac{( mass\ / Molar\ mass )}{weight\ of\ the\ solvent\ in\ Kg}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{65 / M }{0.375}[/tex]

By using the above values

1.8 = [tex]1.22 \times \frac{65 / M }{0.375}[/tex]

M = 117.48 g/mol

Thus, In the given case, the molar mass of Dimethylglyoxime is - 117.48 g / mol
