A solution contains naphthalene (C10H8) dissolved in hexane (C6H14) at a concentration of 13.06% naphthalene by mass. Calculate

the vapor pressure at 25 ∘C of hexane above the solution. The vapor pressure of pure hexane at 25 ∘C is 151 torr.

Answer: The vapor pressure of the solution at 25^0C is 137 torr

Explanation:

As the relative lowering of vapor pressure is directly proportional to the amount of dissolved solute.

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times x_2

where,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}= relative lowering in vapor pressure

i = Van'T Hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolytes)

x_2 = mole fraction of solute  =\frac{\text {moles of solute}}{\text {total moles}}

Given : 13.06 g of napthalene is present in 100 g of solution, thus (100-13.06) g = 86.94 g of hexane

moles of solute (napthalene) = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{13.06g}{128g/mol}=0.102moles

moles of solvent (hexane) = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{86.94g}{86g/mol}=1.01moles

Total moles = moles of solute (napthalene)  + moles of solvent (hexane) = 0.102 + 1.01 = 1.112

x_2 = mole fraction of solute (napthalene) =\frac{0.102}{1.112}=0.0917

\frac{151-p_s}{151}=1\times 0.0917

p_s=137torr

Thus the vapor pressure of the solution at 25^0C is 137 torr

What is a scientific explanation for a range of hypotheses and observations supported by testing
worty [1.4K]
<span>It verifies the significant relationships of the observed and hypothesized variables in the study.

Furthermore, the authors utilize and make use of the scientific method in order to have clear basis and evidence for their investigations. Research method is always used to answer every scientific inquiry and in gaining evidential data or knowledge. The scientific method has the following process or at least undergoes the process of
1. Observation</span> 
2. Hypothesis 
3. Experimentation 
4. Interpretation of data 
5. Evaluating the data 
6. Passing and recording the data 

<span>These steps are crucial and the empirical data that these scientists obtain are very important to keep that is why research paper, thesis and dissertations exists.<span>

O, li, c which electrons experience the greatest effective nuclear charge? express your answer as a chemical formula.
Nataly_w [17]
<span>The effective nuclear charge of an atom = total electrons - inner electrons For O, ENC = 8 - 2 = 6 For Li, ENC = 3 - 2 = 1 For C, ENC = 6 - 2 = 4 The electrons in O experience the greatest effective nuclear charge and that is why O is smaller than C (which is smaller than Li).</span>
