Question

The vapor pressure of pure water is 28 mm Hg at a certain temperature. A solution with a non-volatile solute has a vapor pressure of 26.6 mm Hg. If the solute’s molar mass is 50 g/mol, what is the mass of solute in 360 g of water?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

(p⁰ - p/p⁰) = xsolute . (28 - 26.6/28) = (1.4/28) = 0.05 . Moles of water = (360/18) = 20 . xsolute = (nsolute/nsolute + 20) = 0.05 . nsolute = 0.05 (nsolute + 20) , 0.95 nsolute = 1 , nsolute ≈ 1.0526 . Mass = 1.0526 × 50 ≈ 52.63 g .
