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

4. How does the water vapor change as altitude increases?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

it drifts through the atmosphere and the vapor absorbs heat then the warm air rises up therefore leaving the planet's surface and releasing the heat back into the upper part of the atmosphere

How many molecules are in 128g of H2O?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

4.28x10^24 molecules

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, 1mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules. From the above, we understood that 1mole of H2O also contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

1mole of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18g

Now, if 18g of H2O contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

Then 128g of H2O will contain = (128x 6.02x10^23) /18 = 4.28x10^24 molecules
