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 a non-volatile solute in water has a vapor pressure of 22.4 mm Hg at a temperature where pure water’s vapo

Δ Tb = 100.208 - 100 = 0.208 K . Δ Tb = Kb · m . 0.208 = 0.52 · m , m = (0.208/0.52) = 0.4 mol/kg . Cross-check: xsolute = (24 - 22.4/24) = 0.0667 , consistent for dilute solution.

The vapor pressure of a solvent decreases from 50 mm Hg to 47 mm Hg when a non-volatile solute is added. If an additiona

(p⁰ - p/p⁰) = xsolute . Initial: (50 - 47/50) = 0.06 . Doubling molality doubles xsolute (approximately for dilute solutions), so new xsolute = 0.12 . New p = p⁰ (1 - xsolute) = 50 (1 - 0.12) = 44 mm Hg .
