Total vapor pressure can be calculated using partial vapor pressures and mole fraction as follows:
Here, is mole fraction of A,
is mole fraction of B,
is partial pressure of A and
is partial pressure of B.
The mole fraction of A and B are related to each other as follows:
In this problem, A is hexane and B is octane, mole fraction of hexane is given 0.580 thus, mole fraction of octane can be calculated as follows:
Partial pressure of hexane and octane is given 183 mmHg and 59.2 mmHg respectively.
Now, vapor pressure can be calculated as follows:
Putting the values,
Therefore, total vapor pressure over the solution of hexane and octane is 131 mmHg.
The addition of hydrogen carbonate to bromothymol blue turns the solution blue. Thus, option B is correct.
The balanced equation for the dissociation of bromothymol blue is:
The color of dissociated form is yellow and undissociated form is blue.
<h3>What is the final color of solution?</h3>The addition of hydrogen carbonate results in the dissociated ions as:
The dissociation results in the increased hydrogen ion concentration. The undissociated form in the reaction mixture increases.
Thus, the color of the solution will turn blue. Hence, option B is correct.
