Explanation / Answer

1) The density of ethyl alcohol is d = 0.7893 g/mL. Thus the weight of 1000 g of ethyl alcohol is 1000/0.7893 = 1267mL.

Thus 1267mL of ethyl alcohol containing 208.25 g of Isoamyl salicylate is called 1 molal solution.

thus 117.2 g of Isoamyl salicylate in 1267mL of ethyl alcohol = 117.2/208.25= 0.56278 molal solution.

Thus 117.2 g of Isoamyl salicylate in 950 mL of ethyl alcohol = 1267/950 *0.56278= 0.75 molal solution

2)1.00 kg of 15.0% (w/w) acetic acid solution = 1000 g of solution have 150 g of acetic acid.

Volume for 1.00 kg of 36.0% (w/w) acetic acid is 1000/1.045= 956.94 mL

density of 36.0% (w/w) acetic acid is 1.045 g/mL , thus density of 15.0% (w/w) acetic acid = 0.8836 g/mL

It can be calculated as 360 g of acetic acid in 1000mL(or g) of water have density 1.045g/mL , total weight of solution=1360g.

then 150 g of acetic acid in 1000mL(or g) of water have density = 1150*1.045/1360=0.8836 g/mL

In 36.0% (w/w) acetic acid , 100mL have 36 gram of acetic acid.

We need 150 gram of acetic acid, thus volume of 36.0% (w/w) acetic acid needed= (150/36)*100 = 416.67 ~417 mL

Toatl volume of 1.00 kg is 1000/0.89 ~1100ml. Thus volume of water=1100mL-417 mL = 683 mL water should be added.

Option A.

3) a. Na2SO4 , It is insoluble in water. It do not dissociates in water. thus it is the weakest electrolyte .

4)750.0 mL of 1.35 M MgBr2 = 750*1.35 =1012.5 mmol of MgBr2.

1 mol of MgBr2. gives out 2 mol of Br- . thus total Br- given by 1012.5 mmol of MgBr2 = 2*1012.5 =2025 mmol= 2.025 mol of bromide ions.thus closest answer is 2.03 mol.
