Answer:

a) boiling pressure:

P = 0.759 atm

b) mole fractions in the vapor phase:

Xethanol(v) = 0.2192

Xwater(v) = 0.7808

Explanation:

Raoult's law:

  • Pa = (P*a)×(Xa,(l))
  • Xa(l) + Xb(l) = 1

∴ a: water

∴ b: ethanol

∴ Xb(l) = 0.1238

⇒ Xa(l) = 1 - 0.1238 = 0.8762

  • Pt = Pa + Pb

vapor pressure of the pure components at T = 85.3°C:

∴ P*a(85.3°C) ≅ 400 torr (0.53 atm).....from literature

∴ P*b(85.3°C) ≅ 800 torr (1.053 atm).....from literature

total pressure of the mix:

⇒ Pt = ((0.53 atm)(0.8762)) + ((1.053 atm)(0.1238))

⇒ Pt = 0.5947 atm

boiling point:

  • Xb(l) = Xa(l) = 0.5
  • P = (P*b - Pt)(0.5) + P*a

⇒ P = ((1.053 atm - 0.5947 atm)(0.5)) + 0.53 atm

⇒ P = 0.759 atm

assuming that the gas system is ideal:

  • (Xb(v))(Pt) = (P*b)(Xb(l))

fraction in the vapor fase, ethanol:

⇒ Xb(v) = (P*b)(Xb(l)) / Pt

⇒ Xb(v) = ((1.053 atm)(0.1238)) / (0.5947 atm)

⇒ Xb(v) = 0.2192

∴ Xa(v) = 1 - Xb(v)

⇒ Xa(v) = 1 - 0.2192 = 0.7808

How can naphthalene be separated from a mixture of kbr and sand?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Put it in a beaker. Use a smaller beaker filled half way with ice and water and place in the larger one. It should be about an inch or two above the mixture. Heat over a Bunsen burner and the naphthalene will deposit on the bottom of smaller beaker.

And in this way, nephthalene be separated from the mixture of KBR and sand.
