It was due to the metal foil in which the alpha particles can't even pass through. This experiment conducted by Rutherford led to the discovery of protons.

The vapor pressure of benzene is 73.03 mm Hg at 25°C. How many grams of estrogen (estradiol), C18H24O2, a nonvolatile, nonelectr

alexira [117]

Answer:

14.9802 grams of estrogen must be added to 216.7 grams of benzene.

Explanation:

The relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution containing non volatile solute is equal to mole fraction of solute.

$\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}$

Where:

$p_o$ = Vapor pressure of pure solvent

$p_s$ = Vapor pressure of the solution

$n_1$ = Number of moles of solvent

$n_2$ = Number of moles of solute

$p_o = 73.03 mmHg$

$p_s= 71.61 mmHg$

$n_1=\frac{216.7 g}{78.12 g/mol}=2.7739 mol$

$\frac{73.03 mmHg-71.61 mmHg}{73.03 mmHg}=\frac{n_2}{2.7739 mol+n_2}$

$n_2=0.05499 mol$

Mass of 0.05499 moles of estrogen :

= 0.05499 mol × 272.4 g/mol = 14.9802 g

14.9802 grams of estrogen must be added to 216.7 grams of benzene.
