Chemistry problem?
How many litres of the antifreeze ethylene glycol would you add to a car radiator containing 6.50 L of water if the coldest winter temperature in your area is -20 degrees Celsius? Calculate the boiling point of this water ethylene glycol mixture. The density of ethylene glycol is 1.11 g/ml.

Nancy answers:
20 = kf x m
20 = 1.86 x m
m = 10.8 = moles glycol / Kg water
Denity water = 1.0 g/mL
6.50 L=> 6.50 Kg
Moles glycol = 10.8 x 6.50 = 70.2
Mass ethylene glycol = 70.2 mol x 62.068 g/mol = 4357 g
V = mass / density = 4357 / 1.11 = 3925 mL => 3.925 L
Delta T = 0.512 x m = 0.512 x 10.8 = 5.53 °C
boiling point = 105.53 °C

Jenny asks…
help in solving these problems for chemistry?
detailed answers pls, thnx!!;)
1. Ethylene glycol, an antifreeze, has a specific gravity of 1.11 at 20 degrees Celsius. How many lbs will a liter of ethyl glycol have?
2. A liquid has a density of .90 g/cm3. If the liquid is placed in 1.5 L bottle weighing 232g, how much will the full bottle weigh?
3. At what temperature will the temperature reading in Fahrenheit and Celsius be numerically equal?
……….just so everyone knows..this isn’t a homework…its actually a quiz i’ve already taken but have the wrong answers for and i still need to review it for the finals soooo yeah thats why lol

Nancy answers:
I’m not going to do your homework for you.
But I will help you get closer.
For number three:
what is the difference between the two systems? How do you convert one temperature to the other system?
For number two –if you wanted to see how much you and a dog weigh together, yo weigh yourself first, then hold the dog and step on the scale. Same idea here.
For number one I don’t know. I think it may be a little bit of a trick question.

Boling Point Question, Please help and show work?
How many grams of Ethlyene Glycol antifreeze, CH2(OH) CH2(OH), must you dissolve in one liter of water to get a freezing point of -26.0 C?
The molar mass of Ethylene Glycol is 62.01 g.
For water Kf = 1.86 (C * kg) / mol.
What will be the boling point?

Nancy answers:
The equation that you need to use for this problem is:
Delta T= Kf * i * m
In this situation your i value is just going to be equal to 1 because ethylene glycol doesn’t dissociate in water. So, you know your Delta T value is equal to 26.0 degrees Celsius because the normal freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius. You also know the value of Kf so you need to set the equation up so you can solve for m.
M= T/(Kf * i)
m = 26 degrees C /(1.86 CKg*1) = 13.98
Next, molality (m) is equal to moles of solute per Kg of solvent. So,
13.98 1/kg = moles ethylene glycol / 1.00 kg H2O (1 L H2O = 1 kg H2O)
Multiply each side by 1.00 kg H2O
13.98 = moles ethylene glycol
-> moles ethelene glycol = grams ethylene glycol / molar mass ethylene glycol= g/(g/mol)
13.98 moles = grams ethylene glycol/ (62.01 g/mole ethylene glycol)
Now multiply 62.01 times each side. The moles cancel out and you are left with grams of ethylene glycol.
Grams ethylene glycol = 867 g
—————————————————————————-
Now because you have the grams of ethylene glycol you can solve for the molality and find the boiling point.
Delta T= Kb * i * m
m = moles solute/kg solvent= 13.98 moles ethylene glycol/1.00 kg H2O = 13.98 molal
Delta T = 0.51 C*kg * 1 * 13.98 moles/kg
Delta T= 7.13 degrees C
100 + 7.13 = 107.13 degrees C would be the boiling point
Hope this helps

Chemical problems solution? Please help?!?
1.) A volume of 20.0 L bottles containing 0.200 mol of methane (CH4) and 0.800 mL of oxygen (O2) at 127 Celsius degrees .
a.) calculate the total pressure in the bottle
b) calculate methane & oxygen partial pressure
c) The mixture in the bottle is ‘spark’ so that the methane burn completely in oxygen. What is the final pressure in this bottle? (measured at 127 Celsius degrees)
2.) Solubility of potassium chloride (KCl) in water is 45.5 g/100 g H2O at 60 Celsius degrees and 31 g/100 g H20 at 10 Celsius degrees. What will happen when a saturated solution of 45.5 g KCl in 100 g of H2O at 60 Celsius degrees is cooled to 10 Celsius degrees?
3.) How many liters of ethylene glycol (molar mass of 62 g / mol; density of 1.1 g / mL), an antifreeze, you should add to 10 L of water radiator to lower the freezing point to 5 Celsius degrees? (Kb H2O = 1.86 degrees kg / mol)
thank you

Nancy answers:
1) there is a total of 1 mole of gas, in 20 dm3 (=0.02 m3) at a temp of 400K
so you need to use PV = nRT with R (the gas constant) = 8.31
The methane will account for 20% of that total pressure and the oxygen for the remaining 80%, since pressure is independent of the type of gas particles that is causing it, only the number of particles, and the temperature they’re at.
Once the methane has all burned, Let’s check the equation:
CH4 + 2O2 ———> CO2 + 2H2O
That means there’ll be 0.2 mol of carbon dioxide, 0.4 mol of steam, and 0.4 mol of unreacted oxygen left over, in excess.
Exactly the same total moles of gas that you had before.
So exactly the same pressure
As for question 2; potassium chloride would start to crystallize out of solution
45.5 – 31 = 12.5
so 12.5 grams of KCl crystals would form.
Part 3;
each kg of water lowers its freeezing point by 1.86 degrees for each mole of substance added.
5/1.86 = 2.69 so 1 kg would need 2.69 moles to lower the fp by 5 degrees
so 10L (10kg) would need 26.9 moles
and 26.9 moles = 1667 grams, which is 1.515 litres
Hope the radiator will hold that much, on top of the 10 litres of water already in there.
