A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 21 torr at 39.9 degrees C.

The vapor pressures of pure methanol and pure water at this temperature are 256 torr and 55.3 torr , respectively.
Is the solution Ideal? NO, it isnt.

What can you say about the relative strengths of the solute-solvent interactions compared to the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions?

a. the methanol-water interactions are stronger than the methanol-methanol and water-water interactions.
b. the methanol-water interactions are weaker than the methanol-methanol and water-water interactions.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the details, we can say that

Pure methanol is a volatile solvent as the vapour pressure has a high value. This means that methanol - methanol intermolecular forces are weak in comparisson to water - water forces. When having about 30% of water in a methanol mixture, the mixture Pv decreased, showing that it is not a volatile mixture, so then there are strong intermolecular interactions between methanol - water, part of it due to the hydrogen bonds.

Answer:

Based on the conditions given as vapor pressure is 256 torr,the methanol-water interactions are stronger than the methanol-methanol and water-water interactions is the correct option.

Which element is used for the shinny trim in thermomerters
Luda [366]
If you’re referring to he red stuff- the liquids can be ethanol, toluene, kerosene, or isoamyl acetate. They’re transparent so they’re made more visible with red dye. (So I’d guess the answer is ethanol)

I found this in the Wikipedia article ‘Alcohol thermometer’

Which of the following substances has the highest melting point?
Aleksandr [31]

Nonane (b) has the highest melting point.

-----------------------------

A caveat: I'm assuming that we're dealing with the straight-chain isomers of these alkanes (specifically pentane and nonane). The straight-chain isomer of pentane (<em>n</em>-pentane, CH3-[CH2]3-CH3) has a melting point of -129.8 °C; the straight-chain isomer of nonane (<em>n-</em>nonane, CH3-[CH2]7-CH3) has a melting point of -53.5 °C. The pattern holds as you go down (or up): The more carbon atoms, the higher the melting point. So, in decreasing order of melting points here, you'd have the following: nonane > pentane > butane > ethane.

However, one structural isomer of pentane, neopentane, has a melting point of -16.4 °C, which is <em>higher </em>that the melting point of <em>n</em>-nonane despite neopentane having the same molecular formula as its straight-chain isomer. Of course, you're not to blame for coming up with this question; this is just some extra info to keep in mind.
