Which of the following is it though...?
Answer:
0.144 kg of water
Explanation:
From Raoult's law,
Mole fraction of solvent = vapor pressure of solution ÷ vapor pressure of solvent = 423 mmHg ÷ 528.8 mmHg = 0.8
Let the moles of solvent (water) be y
Moles of solute (C3H8O3) = 2 mole
Total moles of solution = moles of solvent + moles of solute = (y + 2) mol
Mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent/total moles of solution
0.8 = y/(y + 2)
y = 0.8(y + 2)
y = 0.8y + 1.6
y - 0.8y = 1.6
0.2y = 1.6
y = 1.6/0.2 = 8
Moles of solvent (water) = 8 mol
Mass of water = moles of water × MW = 8 mol × 18 g/mol = 144 g = 144/1000 = 0.144 kg
The three types are alpha beta and gamma
