The vapor pressure of diethyl ether (ether) is 463.57 mm Hg at 25 °C. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in diethyl et

her is testosterone. Calculate the vapor pressure of the solution at 25 °C when 7.752 grams of testosterone, C19H28O2 (288.4 g/mol), are dissolved in 208.0 grams of diethyl ether. diethyl ether = CH3CH2OCH2CH3 = 74.12 g/mol.

<u>Answer:</u> The vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 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 testosterone:</u>

Given mass of testosterone = 7.752 g

Molar mass of testosterone = 288.4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of testosterone}=\frac{7.752g}{288.4g/mol}=0.027mol

  • <u>For diethyl ether:</u>

Given mass of diethyl ether = 208.0 g

Molar mass of diethyl ether = 74.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of diethyl ether}=\frac{208.0g}{74.12g/mol}=2.81mol

Mole fraction of a substance is calculated by using the equation:

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

\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{n_{\text{testosterone}}}{n_{\text{testosterone}}+n_{\text{diethyl ether}}}

\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{0.027}{0.027+2.81}\\\\\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=0.0095

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be:

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{\text{solute}}

where,

p^o = vapor pressure of solvent (diethyl ether) = 463.57 mmHg

p^s = vapor pressure of the solution = ?

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

\chi_{\text{solute}} = mole fraction of solute (testosterone) = 0.0095

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{463.57-p^s}{463.57}=1\times 0.0095\\\\p^s=459.17mmHg

Hence, the vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg

99 POINTS!! Question: Tell what information each number or symbol in a chemical formula tells you. (Please be specific :)
taurus [48]

Answer: A subscript or superscript is a character that is set slightly below or above the normal line of type, respectively. It is usually smaller than the rest of the text. Subscripts appear at or below the baseline, while superscripts are above.

a coefficient is a constant term related to the properties of a product. In the equation that measures friction, for example, the number that always stays the same is the coefficient.

Parentheses are used in mathematical expressions to denote modifications to normal order of operations (precedence rules). In an expression like , the part of the expression within the parentheses, , is evaluated first, and then this result is used in the rest of the expression.

Chemical symbols are abbreviations used in chemistry for chemical elements, functional groups and chemical compounds. Element symbols for chemical elements normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter capitalized.

That there are no numbers present in the chemical formula means that there is one atom of each element present in the molecule. The Periodic Table reveals that Na is the symbol for sodium, and Cl is the symbol for chlorine.
