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.

Describe electronegativity, and explain the trend of electronegativity in the Periodic Table.
Karolina [17]
Electronegativity is an atoms ability to attract a bonding pair of electrons. Fluorine is the most electronegative element. Electronegativity increases across the periodic table from left to right. It also increases from bottom to top.
