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 .

What is the volume of water required to prepare 200 mL of a 0.5 M solution using 4 g of NaOH (molar mass = 40 g/mol)?

Moles of NaOH = (4/40) = 0.1 mol . Molarity = (Moles/Volume in L) , so 0.5 = (0.1/V) . Volume = (0.1/0.5) = 0.2 L = 200 mL . Since total volume is 200 mL, water volume = 200 mL (assuming solute volume is negligible).

A solution of two volatile liquids has vapor pressures of 400 mm Hg and 600 mm Hg for pure components. If the vapor pres

Raoult’s law: P = P₁⁰ · x₁ + P₂⁰ · (1 - x₁) . P = 400 × 0.6 + 600 × 0.4 = 240 + 240 = 480 mm Hg . Actual = 520 mm Hg ≠ 480 mm Hg, so it does not obey Raoult’s law.
