Question: Two 1 - L beakers, A and B , each containing a different aqueous solution of maltose ( a nonvolatile sugar with M W =

Two 1-L beakers, A and B, each containing a different aqueous solution of maltose (a nonvolatile sugar with MW=342.30gmol) are placed together in a box, which is then sealed. The temperature remains constant at 20C. Initially, there is 170mL of solution in A and 800mL of solution in B. As the solutions stand in the sealed box, their volumes change slowly for a while. When they stop changing, beaker A contains 470mL and beaker B contains 500mL. It is then determined that the solution in A is 1.06M in maltose and has a density of 1.14gmL-1.
(a) What is the molar concentration of maltose in the solution in beaker B at the end? M
(b) Calculate the concentration of maltose in the solution in A at the start.
M
(c) Calculate the concentration of the maltose in the solution in B at the start.
M
(d) The vapor pressure of pure water at 20C is 17.5 torr.
What is the pressure of water vapor in the box at the end, after the volumes have stopped changing? torr
