A solution contains 42.0 g of heptane (C7H16) and 50.5 g of octane (C8H18) at 25 ∘C. The vapor pressures of pure heptane and pur

e octane at 25 ∘C are 45.8 torr and 10.9 torr, respectively. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate each of the following. (Note that the mole fraction of an individual gas component in an ideal gas mixture can be expressed in terms of the component's partial pressure.)a.) the vapor pressure of each of the solution components in the mixtureb.) the total pressure above the solutionc.) the composition of the vapor in mass percentd.) Why is the composition of the vapor different from the composition of the solution?

Answer:

(a) 22.3 torr; 5.6 torr; (b) 27.9 torr; (c) 77.7 % heptane; 23.3 % octane

(d) Heptane is more volatile than octane

Explanation:

We can use Raoult's Law to solve this problem.

It states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapour pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction. In symbols,

p_{i} = \chi_{i} p_{i}^{\circ}

(a) Vapour pressure of each component

Let heptane be Component 1 and octane be Component 2.

(i) Moles of each component

n_{1} = \text{42.0 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}} = \text{0.4192 mol}\\n_{2} = \text{50.5 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{114.23 g}} = \text{0.4421 mol}

(ii) Total moles

n_{\text{tot}} = 0.4192 + 0.4421 = \text{0.8613 mol}

(iiii) Mole fractions of each component

p_{1} = 0.4867 \times 45.8 = \textbf{22.3 torr}\\p_{2} = 0.5133 \times 10.9 = \ \textbf{5.6 torr}

(iv) Partial vapour pressures of each component

p_{1} = 0.4867 \times 45.8 = \textbf{22.3 torr}\\p_{2} = 0.5133 \times 10.9 = \textbf{5.6 torr}

(b) Total pressure  

p_{\text{tot}} = p_{1} + p_{2} = 22.3 + 5.6 = \text{27.9 torr}

(c) Mass percent of each component in vapour

\chi_{1} = \dfrac{p_{1}}{p_{\text{Tot}}} = \dfrac{22.3}{27.9} =0.799\\\chi_{2} = \dfrac{p_{2}}{p_{\text{Tot}} }= \dfrac{5.6}{27. 9} =0.201

The ratio of the mole fractions is the same as the ratio of the moles.

\dfrac{n_{1}}{n_{2}} = \dfrac{0.799}{0.201}

If we have 1 mol of vapour, we have 0.799 mol of heptane and 0.201 mol of octane

m_{1} = 0.799 \times 100.20 = \text{80.1 g}\\m_{2} = 0.201\times 114.23 = \text{23.0 g}\\m_{\text{tot}} = 80.1 + 23.0 = \text{103.1 g}\\\\\text{ mass percent heptane} = \dfrac{80.1}{103.1} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{77.7\, \%}\\\\\text{ mass percent octane} = \dfrac{23.0}{103.1} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{22.3\, \%}}

(d) Enrichment of vapour

The vapour is enriched in heptane because heptane is more volatile than octane.

Explain why BH3 is trigonal planar and NH3 is trigonal pyramidal.
Troyanec [42]

Answer:o It is important to realise that mixing will be small unless there are electrons in the 4a1 LUMO, this is why NH3 is pyramidal while BH3 is planar! ... This mixing is very strong and stabilises the 3a1 MO substantially and hence NH3 is trigonal pyramidal and not planar.

How many grams of water can I convert from a liquid to a gas with 6768 joules?
vredina [299]

Answer:

The amount of water converted from liquid to gas with 6,768 joules is approximately 3.035 g

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to convert a given amount of liquid to gas at its boiling point is known as the latent heat of evaporation of the liquid

The latent heat of evaporation of water, ΔH_v ≈ 2,230 J/g

The relationship between the heat supplied, 'Q', and the amount of water in grams, 'm', evaporated is given as follows

Q = m × ΔH_v

Therefore, the amount of water, 'm', converted from liquid to gas at the boiling point temperature (100°C), when Q = 6,768 Joules, is given as follows;

6,768 J = m × 2,230 J/g

∴ m = 6,768 J /(2,230 J/g) ≈ 3.035 g

The amount of water converted from liquid to gas with 6,768 joules = m ≈ 3.035 g.
