Answer:

(a) 22.3 torr; 5.6 torr; (b) 27.9 torr; (c) 77.7 % heptane; 23.3 % octane

(d) Heptane is more volatile than octane

Explanation:

We can use Raoult's Law to solve this problem.

It states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapour pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction. In symbols,

$p_{i} = \chi_{i} p_{i}^{\circ}$

(a) Vapour pressure of each component

Let heptane be Component 1 and octane be Component 2.

(i) Moles of each component

$n_{1} = \text{42.0 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}} = \text{0.4192 mol}\\n_{2} = \text{50.5 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{114.23 g}} = \text{0.4421 mol}$

(ii) Total moles

$n_{\text{tot}} = 0.4192 + 0.4421 = \text{0.8613 mol}$

(iiii) Mole fractions of each component

$p_{1} = 0.4867 \times 45.8 = \textbf{22.3 torr}\\p_{2} = 0.5133 \times 10.9 = \ \textbf{5.6 torr}$

(iv) Partial vapour pressures of each component

$p_{1} = 0.4867 \times 45.8 = \textbf{22.3 torr}\\p_{2} = 0.5133 \times 10.9 = \textbf{5.6 torr}$

(b) Total pressure

$p_{\text{tot}} = p_{1} + p_{2} = 22.3 + 5.6 = \text{27.9 torr}$

(c) Mass percent of each component in vapour

$\chi_{1} = \dfrac{p_{1}}{p_{\text{Tot}}} = \dfrac{22.3}{27.9} =0.799\\\chi_{2} = \dfrac{p_{2}}{p_{\text{Tot}} }= \dfrac{5.6}{27. 9} =0.201$

The ratio of the mole fractions is the same as the ratio of the moles.

$\dfrac{n_{1}}{n_{2}} = \dfrac{0.799}{0.201}$

If we have 1 mol of vapour, we have 0.799 mol of heptane and 0.201 mol of octane

$m_{1} = 0.799 \times 100.20 = \text{80.1 g}\\m_{2} = 0.201\times 114.23 = \text{23.0 g}\\m_{\text{tot}} = 80.1 + 23.0 = \text{103.1 g}\\\\\text{ mass percent heptane} = \dfrac{80.1}{103.1} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{77.7\, \%}\\\\\text{ mass percent octane} = \dfrac{23.0}{103.1} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{22.3\, \%}}$
