Octylphenol ethoxylate is a detergent that is commonly used in chemistry laboratories. It is a thick, yellowish liquid. A chemist dissolves a small amount of octylphenol ethoxylate in a liter of benzene, an organic liquid, then adds a small amount of toluene, another organic liquid. Identify each component of the solution as a solute or a solvent.

Benzene is a

a) solute.

b) solvent.

Toluene is a

a) solute.

b) solvent.

Octylphenol ethoxylate is a

a) solute.

b)solvent.

the answer on edge2020 is solvent, solute, solute

14,16 18 reacts with group

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
