Answer:
Mole fraction of solute is 0.0462
Explanation:
To solve this we use the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure.
First of all, we search for vapor pressure of pure water at 25°C = 23.8 Torr
Now, we convert the Torr to mmHg. Ratio is 1:1, so 23.8 Torr is 23.8 mmHg.
Formula for lowering vapor pressure is:
ΔP = P° . Xm
Where ΔP = P' (Vapor pressure of solution) - P° (Vapor pressure of pure solvent)
Xm = mole fraction
24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg = 23mmHg . Xm
Xm = (24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg) / 23mmHg
Xm = 0.0462
Answer:
Option E. 2.04 L
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Molarity of NaCl = 2.25 M
Mole of NaCl = 4.58 moles
Volume =..?
Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of the solution. It is represented mathematically as:
Molarity = mole /Volume
With the above formula, we can obtain the volume of the solution as follow:
Molarity = mole /Volume
2.25 = 4.58/volume
Cross multiply
2.25 x volume = 4.58
Divide both side by 2.25
Volume = 4.58/2.25
Volume = 2.04 L
Therefore, the volume of the solution is 2.04 L
