<u>Answer:</u> The vapor pressure of the solution is 43.55 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For water:</u>

Given mass of water = 35.0 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of water}=\frac{35.0g}{18g/mol}=1.944mol

  • <u>For ethyl alcohol:</u>

Given mass of ethyl alcohol = 100.0 g

Molar mass of ethyl alcohol = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of ethyl alcohol}=\frac{100.0g}{46g/mol}=2.174mol

Total moles of solution = [1.944 = 2.174] moles = 4.118 moles

  • Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

<u>For water:</u>

\chi_{\text{water}}=\frac{n_{\text{water}}}{n_{\text{water}}+n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}

\chi_{water}=\frac{1.944}{4.118}=0.472

<u>For ethyl alcohol:</u>

\chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}=\frac{n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}{n_{\text{water}}+n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}

\chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}=\frac{2.174}{4.118}=0.528

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of the system is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each component present in it.

To calculate the vapor pressure of the solution, we use the law given by Dalton, which is:

P_T=\sum_{i=1}^n (p_i\times \chi_i)

Or,

P_T=[(p_{\text{water}}\times \chi_{\text{water}})+(p_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}\times \chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 23.8 mmHg

Vapor pressure of ethyl alcohol = 61.2 mmHg

Putting values in above equation, we get:

p_T=[(23.8\times 0.472)+(61.2\times 0.528)]\\\\p_T=43.55mmHg

Hence, the vapor pressure of the solution is 43.55 mmHg

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

m_{C_6H_5Cl}=65.7gC_6H_5Cl

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the given balanced chemical reaction:

C_6H_6 (l) + Cl_2 (g) \rightarrow C_6H_5Cl (s) + HCl (g)

We can see there is 1:1 between benzene and chlorobenzene as the relavant product; thus, since the molar mass of benzene is 78.11 g/mol and that of chlorobenzene is 112.55 g/mol, the theoretical yield for this reaction turns out:

m_{C_6H_5Cl}=45.6gC_6H_6*\frac{1molC_6H_6}{78.11gC_6H_6 }*\frac{1molC_6H_5Cl}{1molC_6H_6}*\frac{112.55gC_6H_5Cl}{1molC_6H_5Cl}   \\\\m_{C_6H_5Cl}=65.7gC_6H_5Cl

Best regards!

Define and give an example of an acid and of a base.
Debora [2.8K]

A Brønsted-Lowry acid is defined as a compound that gives hydronium ions to another compound—for example, hydrochloric acid gives H+ ions to compounds it reacts with. Brønsted-Lowry bases are compounds that can accept hydronium ions—when ammonia gets a hydronium ion from HCl, it forms the ammonium ion.
