Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound widely used as an automotive antifreeze and a precursor to polymers. In its pure form, it is an odorless, colorless, syrupy, sweet-tasting liquid. Ethylene glycol is toxic, and ingestion can result in death.

Ethylene glycol is not to be confused with diethylene glycol, a heavier ether diol, or with polyethylene glycol, a nontoxic polyether polymer.

You want to prepare an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol HOCH2CH2OH, in which the mole fraction of solute?
Q. is 0.125. What mass of ethylene glycol, in grams should you combine with 955g ofwater? What is the molarity of the solution?
Asked by Betsy R - Tue Oct 21 01:19:43 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Moles water = 955 g / 18 g/mol = 53.1 mole fraction solute = moles solute / moles water + moles solute let x = moles solute 0.125 = x / 53.1+x 6.64 + 0.125 x = x x = 7.59 moles HOCH2CH2OH mass HOCH2CH2OH = 7.59 mol x 62 g/mol = 470.5 g To know the molarity I must know the density of the solution

Find the molality, molarity and mole fraction of ethylene glycol?
Q. An aqueous antifreeze solution is 40% ethylene glycol(C2H6O2) by mass. The density of the solution is 1.05g/cm3. Calculate the molality, molarity, and mole fraction of the ethylene glycol.
Asked by westafrica88 - Wed Mar 7 14:08:18 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Take 1 liter of solution. Since its density is given us 1.05 g/cm3 we know that 1 L must weight (1000 mL)(1.05)= 1050 g Of this total weight 40% is C2H6O2. (0.40)(1050)= 420 g C2H6O2 One mole weights 62 g 420/62=6.77 moles M=6.77/1 =6.77 M Molality= Mole C2H6O2/ Kg H2O In 1 Kg there are 400 g C2H6O2 and 600 g H2O(=0.600 Kg) 400/62=6.45 mole m=6.45/0.600=10.75 m In 1 Kg there are 400 g C2H6O2>>6.45 moles and 600 g H2O (MM=18) >>33.3 moles Total moles=6.45+33.3 = 39.8 X(C2H6O2) = 6.45/39.8=0.163 X(H2O) = 33.3/39.8=0.837

How do you predict the solubility of ethylene glycol in water? Explain briefly thanks:D?
Q. How do you predict the above when your teacher only taught you alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, acids so far? Oh and the different reactions giving rise to different products, such as alcohols + acids --> esters + water? Please help. Thanks:D

A. Ethylene glycol is a 'diol' that means it is an alcohol with two alcohol groups. Compare the properties of alcohol to an alkane; then following the trend, predict ethylene glycol. The properties are arise from the interactions originating from the hydroxy group - hydrogen bonding. The Hydroxy group makes the alkane soluble in water, raises the boiling point and makes the compound more viscous. The presence of two hydroxy groups as in glycol will therefore make the BP even higher, the compound will be thicker/more viscous and highly soluble. There are so many reactions that it would not be possible to list them, however here are a two that may be of interest: Acid + Acid -> Acid anhydride + water Alcohol + Alcohol -> Ether + water
