Mixtures of benzene and cyclohexane exhibit ideal behavior. A solution was created containing 1.5 moles of liquid benzene and 2.

5 moles of liquid cyclohexane, and at 50°C the total vapor pressure of the solution was measured to be 340 torr. Another solution was created containing 1.5 moles of liquid benzene and 3.5 moles of liquid cyclohexane, and at 50°C the measured total vapor pressure was 370 torr.
(A) Calculate the vapor pressures of pure benzene and pure cyclohexane at 50°C.

Answer:

Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr

Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr

Explanation:

Using Raoult's law, pressure of a solution is defined by the sum of the product sbetween mole fraction of both solvents and pressure of pure solvents.

P_{solution} = X_{A}P^0_{A}+X_{B}P^0_{B}

In the first solution:

X_{cyclohexane}=\frac{2.5mol}{2.5mol+1.5mol} =0.625

X_{benzene}=\frac{1.5mol}{2.5mol+1.5mol} =0.375

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+0.375P^0_{B} <em>(1)</em>

For the second equation:

X_{cyclohexane}=\frac{3.5mol}{3.5mol+1.5mol} =0.700

X_{benzene}=\frac{1.5mol}{3.5mol+1.5mol} =0.300

370torr = 0.700P^0_{A}+0.300P^0_{B}<em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+0.375(1233.3-2.333P^0_{A})

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+462.5-0.875P^0_{A}

-122.5torr = -0.250P°A

P^0_{A} = 490 torr

<em>Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr</em>

And for benzene:

370torr = 0.700*490torr+0.300P^0_{B}

P^0_{B}=90torr

<em>Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr</em>

Examples of polar covalent bonds
mars1129 [50]
A water molecule, abbreviated as H2O, is an example of a polar covalent bond. The electrons are unequally shared, with the oxygen atom spending more time with electrons than the hydrogen atoms. Since electrons spend more time with the oxygen atom, it carries a partial negative charge.
