Answer : The mass of nitric acid is, 214.234 grams.
Solution : Given,
Moles of nitric acid = 3.4 moles
Molar mass of nitric acid = 63.01 g/mole
Formula used :
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of nitric acid.
Therefore, the mass of nitric acid is, 214.234 grams.
Answer:
(a) Benzene = 0.26; toluene = 0.74
(b) Benzene = 0.55
Explanation:
1. Calculate the composition of the solution
For convenience, let’s call benzene Component 1 and toluene Component 2.
According to Raoult’s Law,
where
p₁ and p₂ are the vapour pressures of the components above the solution
χ₁ and χ₂ are the mole fractions of the components
p₁° and p₂° are the vapour pressures of the pure components.
Note that
χ₁ + χ₂ = 1
So,
χ₁ = 0.26 and χ₂ = 0.74
2. Calculate the mole fraction of benzene in the vapour
In the liquid,
p₁ = χ₁p₁° = 0.26 × 75 mm = 20 mm
∴ In the vapour
Note that the vapour composition diagram below has toluene along the horizontal axis. The purple line is the vapour pressure curve for the vapour. Since χ₂ has dropped to 0.45, χ₁ has increased to 0.55.
