The vapor pressure of pure water is 25 mm Hg at a certain temperature. A solution with a non-volatile solute has a vapor

(p⁰ - p/p⁰) = xsolute . (25 - 23/25) = 0.08 . Moles of water = (180/18) = 10 . xsolute = (nsolute/nsolute + 10) = 0.08 . nsolute = 0.08 (nsolute + 10) , nsolute - 0.08 nsolute = 0.8 , 0.92 nsolute = 0.8 , nsolute ≈ 0.8696 . Mass = 0.8696 × 60 ≈ 52.18 g .

The vapor pressure of pure water is 30 mm Hg at a certain temperature. A solution with a non-volatile solute has a vapor

(p⁰ - p/p⁰) = xsolute . (30 - 28.5/30) = 0.05 = (nsolute/nsolute + nwater) . Molality = (nsolute/wwater) = 0.5 . Assume wwater = 1 kg , then nsolute = 0.5 . nwater = (1000/18) ≈ 55.56 . xsolute = (0.5/0.5 + 55.56) ≈ 0.0089 , adjust wwater = (0.5 × 18/0.05) = 180 g .

A solution of 0.02 mole of a non-volatile solute in 250 mL of water has an osmotic pressure of 0.984 atm at 27°C. What i

Pi = M · RT . 0.984 = M × 0.0821 × 300 . M = (0.984/0.0821 × 300) ≈ 0.04 M . Cross-check: Moles = 0.04 × 0.25 = 0.01 , but given 0.02 mole, i = 2 , adjust assumption if needed.
