Adrenaline is the hormone that triggers the release of extra glucose molecules in times of stress or emergency. a solution of 0.64 g of adrenaline in 36.0 g of ccl4 elevates the boiling point by 0.49∘c. is the molar mass of adrenaline calculated from the boiling point elevation in agreement with the following structural formula?

Explanation:

The work is to calculate the molar mass of the solute (adrenaline) from the elevation of the boling point and compare with the mass of the structural formula. If they both are reasonably equal then you conclude that the results are in agreement, else they are not in agreement.

Since, you did not include the structural formula, I can explain the whole procedure to calculate the molar mass from the boiling point elevation, and then you can compare with the mass of the structural formula that only you know.

Determination of the molar mass from the boiling point elevation.

1) With the elevation of the boiling point, which is a colligative property, you can find the molality of the solution, using the formula:

ΔTb = i * Kb * m

Where:

> ΔTb is the increase of the boiling point of ths solvent, i.e. CCl4.

> i  van't Hoff constant = 1 (because the solute is non ionic)

> m is the molality of the solution

2) Clearing m you get:

m = ΔTb / Kb

Kb is a datum that you must find in a table of internet (since the statement does not include it).

I found Kb = 5.02 °C/m

Then, m = 0.49°C / (5.02°C/m) = 0.09760956 m

3) With m and the mass of solvent you find the number of moles of solute using the formula:

m = number of moles of solute / kg of solvent

You have the mass of the solvent = 36.0 g = 0.0360 kg, so you can solve for the number of moles of solute:

=> number of moles of solute = m * kg of solvent = 0.09760956 m * 0.036kg = 0.0035139 moles

4) With the nuimber of moles and the mass you find the molar mass:

molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles = 0.64 g / 0.0035139 moles = 182 g/mol < this is the important result

5) Now that you have the molar mass you can compare with the mass of the molecular formula. If they are reasonably equal then you conclude that the molar mass of adrenaline calculated from the boiling point elevation is in agreement with the structural formula

The answer is bhope this
