The boiling point of ethanol
CH3CH2OH is
78.50°C at 1 atmosphere. A nonvolatile,
nonelectrolyte that dissolves in ethanol is
estrogen (estradiol).
How many grams of estrogen,
C18H24O2
(272.4 g/mol), must be dissolved in
265.0 grams of ethanol to raise
the boiling point by 0.500 °C ? Refer to the table
for the necessary boiling or freezing point constant.
Solvent | Formula | Kb (°C/m) | Kf (°C/m) |
---|---|---|---|
Water | H2O | 0.512 | 1.86 |
Ethanol | CH3CH2OH | 1.22 | 1.99 |
Chloroform | CHCl3 | 3.67 | |
Benzene | C6H6 | 2.53 | 5.12 |
Diethyl ether | CH3CH2OCH2CH3 | 2.02 |
