A parcel of unsaturated air contains a mixture of dry air and water vapor. The specific humidity q of the air parcel is 12 g kg^−1. Recall that q = Mv / (Mv+Md),where Mv is the mass of the water vapor and Md is the mass of the dry air. This is equivalent to what we have been calling the fractional concentration of water vapor by mass. (a) If the air parcel is at a temperature T= 25◦C , what is the virtual temperature of the air parcel? (b) If the air parcel is at a temperature T= 25◦C and a pressure of 1000 hPa, what is the relative humidity of the air parcel? (c) What is the apparent molar mass of the air parcel?
A STOCK SOLUTION containing 0.1581 g/L K2CrO4 was prepared.In order to make the CALIBRATION STANDARD, 5 ml of the STOCK was transferredinto a 50ml volumetric flask and then diluted with an appropriate solvent.Calculate:(a) The ppm of K2CrO4 in the CALIBRATION STANDARD.(b) The molarity of K2CrO4 in the CALIBRATION STANDARD.

Osmotic pressures are often reported in units of atmospheres or mm Hg. The latter impliesthat the height of a column of liquid can be used as a measure of pressure. This is, in fact, thebasis of the torricellian barometer from which the units of “torr” come. The pressure, P, isrelated to the height of the column by:P = ρghwhere ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. Whatwill be the height (in mm) of a column of aqueous solution with a density of 0.9987 g/mL, if theosmotic pressure of the solution at 25 °C is 1.4 mm Hg? The density of mercury at thistemperature is 13.8 g/mL

A polymer of large molar mass is dissolved in the organic solvent m-cresol (C7H8O) at 25 °C, and the resulting solution rises to a final height of 13.4 cm above the level of the pure solvent, as solvent molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane into the solution. If the solution contains 5.24 g polymer per liter, calculate the molar mass of the polymer. Take the density of the solution to be 1.03 g cm-3.
