Answer:
Vapor pressure of water = 23.14torr
Explanation:
When you made a solution, vapor pressure decreases following Raoult's law:
<em>Where P is vapor pressure and X mole fraction</em>
As vapor pressure of water is 23.77torr we must find the mole fraction of water knowing the solution is 1.500m glucose (That is 1.500 moles of glucose per kg of water = 1000g of water).
1000g of H₂O are, in moles (Molar mass: 18.02g/mol):
1000g H₂O ₓ (1mole / 18.02g) = 55.5 moles of H₂O.
As we know now the solution contains 55.5 moles of water and 1.5 moles of glucose. Thus, mole fraction of water (Solvent) is:
Replacing in Raoult's law, pressure of water above the solution is:
