H H H H O C C H H What will be the approximate bond angle of the C–O–C bond? Why? The bond angle will be slightly less than 109°; the O will be sp3-‐hybridized since there are four groups of electrons around it (2 bonds + 2 lone pairs) and the expanded cloud of lone-‐pair electrons will force the C–O–C bond angle to be a bit less than the ideal 109.5° Which of these intermolecular forces will be present in pure liquid dimethyl ether? EXPLAIN WHY for each. London (dispersion) These will be present because ALL molecular substances have these weak forces which are caused by temporary, fluctuating electron distribution in each molecule. Dipole-‐dipole The C–O bond is polar, and its bent shape in this molecule will give the ether a dipole moment that will cause there to be dipole-‐dipole attractions between molecules. Hydrogen bonding This is NOT present because it required H on N, O, or F to produce this intense and fairly unique special type of dipole-‐dipole force. Ion-‐Dipole This force CANNOT be present because there are no ions in pure covalent dimethyl ether CHE 211 Exam 4 KEY CHAPTER 13 (MIXTURES) 27 question points + 6 problem points = 33 points 1.

Brownian motion C. the visibility condition D. the Tyndall effect PROBLEM SHOW ALL WORK ON CALCULATIONS FOR MAXIMUM CREDIT A biochemist isolates a pure protein from a plant source and wishes to estimate the molar mass of the protein so she uses the osmotic pressure of a solution to determine the approximate molar mass. The biochemist dissolves 1.00 g of the protein in enough water to equal 100.0 mL of solution and then tests the osmotic pressure, which she finds to be 9.3 Torr at 25°C. What is the approximate molar mass of this protein? ∏ = MRT, so we can rearrange this to solve for M: M = ∏/RT = ( (9.3 Torr)/760 Torr atm–1)/(0.0821 x 298 K) = 0.00050 M Note that the 9.3 Torr must be converted to atm, and T must be in Kelvin If the solution is thus 5.0 x 10–4 M and we have 0.100 L, then our 1.00 g was = (5.0 x 10–4 mol/L)(.100 L) = 5.0 x 10–5 mole. Thus the weight of a mole is = (1.00 g)(1/5.0 x 10–5 mol) = 20,000 g/mol EXTRA CREDIT (3 Points) s Mark the location of each of the three phases on the following phase diagram: l g
