Answer:
10 m
Explanation:
The mole fraction of FeCl₃ of 0.15, that is, per mole of solution, there are 0.15 moles of FeCl₃ and 1 - 0.15 = 0.85 moles of water.
The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 0.85 moles is:
0.85 mol × 18.02 g/mol = 15 g = 0.015 kg
The molality of FeCl₃ is:
m = moles of solute / kilogram of solvent
m = 0.15 mol / 0.015 kg
m = 10 m
I believe the density p1 is greater than the density p2 .
Since the liquid are at equilibrium in the the open U-tube, the pressure at which the liquids meet should be the same. That is at the position where they are in contact, the pressure that liquid 1 exerts at that point is the same as the pressure exerted by liquid 2 at the point.
