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.

it is A Acid

Explanation : Any substance that yields a hydrogen ion when placed in a water solution is called an acid. According to Arrhenius theory of Acids and Bases, Acids are those substances which on dissociation in solution generates ions. Whereas a Base is a substance that dissociates in the solution to produce ions.

How many grams of solute are needed to make 37.5 mL of 0.750 M KI solution? Round to three significant digits.
Marysya12 [62]

4.648 gm of solute is needed to make 37.5 mL of 0.750 M KI solution.

Solution:  

We will start with the Molarity  

\text { Molarity }=\text { Mole of solute } \div \text { liter of solution }

Also we know 1000 ml = 1 L

Therefore 37.5 ml by 1000ml we obtained 0.0375L  

Equation for solving mole of solute

\text { Mole of solute }=\text { Molarity } \times \text { Liters of solution }

Now, multiply 0.750M by 0.0375

Substitute the known values in the above equation we get

0.750 \times 0.0375=0.0281

Also we know that Molar mass of KI is 166 g/mol

So divide the molar mass value to get the no of grams.

0.028 \times 166=4.648

So 4.648 gm of Solute is required for make 37.5 mL of 0.750 M KI solution.

Find the molality of the solution if 42 grams of lithium chloride (LiCl) are dissolved in 3.6 kg of water.
omeli [17]
The molality is calculated using the following rule:
molality = number of moles of solute / kg of solvent

From the periodic table:
molar mass of lithium = 6.941 gm
molar mass of chlorine = 35.453 gm

molar mass of LiCl = 6.941 + 35.453 = 42.394 gm
number of moles found in 42 gm = mass / molar mass = 42 / 42.394 = 0.99

molality = 0.99 / 3.6 = 0.275 m
