The osmotic pressure of an unknown substance dissolved
in 100 mL of water is measured at 298 K. The concentration of this
substance is 25.5 kg m–3 and the osmotic pressure is 4.50 x 104 Pa.
a) Determine the molecular weight of this substance. b) Calculate
the change in the freezing point of water caused by the addition of
this substance. (Keep in mind that the density of a dilute aqueous
solution is approximately 1 g/mL).

U-236 is an important neutron poison in reactors that is created in uraniumbased fuels from U-235 capturing a neutron. Derive an expression for the time at which the peak U-236 concentration occurs. Note that not all neutron absorption by U-235 becomes U-236; some U-235 atoms fission.
