A solution of 6.54 g of a carbohydrate in 102.5 g of water has a density of 1.024 g/mL and an osmotic pressure of 4.61 atm at 20.0°C. Calculate the molar mass of the carbohydrate.

The molar mass of the carbohydrate : = 304.19 g/mol

Further explanation

Given

6.54 g carbohydrate

102.5 g of water

osmotic pressure of 4.61 atm

T = 20+273=293 K

Required

The molar mass

Solution

General formula:  

π = osmosis pressure (atm)  

M = solution concentration (mol / l)  

R = constant = 0.08205 L atm mol-1 K-1  

T = Temperature (Kelvin)  

Find molarity(M) :

4.61 atm = M . 0.08205 x 293

M = 0.192 mol/L(mol solute per 1 liter solution)

Total mass of solution :

= 6.54 g + 102.5

= 109.04 g

Volume of solution :

= density x mass

= 1.024 g/ml x 109.04 g

= 111.66 ml

= 0.112 L

mol Carbohydrate (solute):

= M x V

= 0.192 x 0.112

= 0.0215 mol

Molar mass of Carbohydrate :

= mass : mol

= 6.54 : 0.0215

= 304.19 g/mol

For cyclohexane compounds drawn in a chair conformation:   -axial bonds are vertical  -equatorial bonds are parallel to two bonds within the ring.  thus, as i assume the chair conformation is drawn:   -the x group is in an axial position, as are the five other vertical bonds.  -three axial bonds are on the top face of the ring  -the other three axial bonds are on the bottom face  the position of the second substituent on each ring carbon is equatorial.  gauche groups must be on an adjacent carbon such as carbon 6 and carbon 2, and also gauche groups are rotated by 60 degrees relative to each other.  drawing the newman projections for c1–c2 and c1–c6 aids in visualizing the groups that are gauche to the y group on c1.  click this link and watch some academic videos that may you more understand the topic
