The vapor pressure of pure water at 25 °c is 23.8 torr. What is the vapor pressure (torr) of water above a solution prepared by

dissolving 18.0 g of glucose (a nonelectrolyte, mw = 180.0 g/mol) in 95.0 g of water?

The vapour pressure of the solution is 23.4 torr.

Use <em>Raoult’s Law</em> to calculate the vapour pressure:  

<em>p</em>₁ = χ₁<em>p</em>₁°  

where  

χ₁ = the mole fraction of the solvent  

<em>p</em>₁ and <em>p</em>₁° are the vapour pressures of the solution and of the pure solvent  

The formula for vapour pressure lowering Δ<em>p</em> is  

Δ<em>p</em> = <em>p</em>₁° - <em>p</em>₁  

Δ<em>p</em> = <em>p</em>₁° - χ₁<em>p</em>₁° = p₁°(1 – χ₁) = χ₂<em>p</em>₁°  

where χ₂ is the mole fraction of the solute.  

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>mole fraction of glucose </em>

<em>n</em>₂ = 18.0 g glu × (1 moL glu/180.0 g glu) = 0.1000 mol glu  

<em>n</em>₁ = 95.0 g H_2O × (1 mol H_2O/18.02 g H_2O) = 5.272 mol H_2O  

χ₂ = <em>n</em>₂/(<em>n</em>₁ + n₂) = 0.1000/(0.1000 + 5.272) = 0.1000/5.372 = 0.018 62  

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>vapour pressure lowering</em>  

Δ<em>p</em> = χ₂<em>p</em>₁° = 0.018 62 × 23.8 torr = 0.4430 torr  

<em>Step 3</em>. Calculate the <em>vapour pressure</em>  

<em>p₁</em> = <em>p</em>₁° - Δ<em>p</em> = 23.8 torr – 0.4430 torr = 23.4 torr

Five gases combined in a gas cylinder have the following partial pressures: 3.00 atm (N2), 1.80 atm (O2), 0.29 atm (Ar), 0.18 at
lisov135 [29]

This can be solved using Dalton's Law of Partial pressures. This law states that the total pressure exerted by a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture as if it exist alone in a container. In order to solve, we need the partial pressures of the gases given. Calculations are as follows:<span>


<span>P = 3.00 atm + 1.80 atm + 0.29 atm + 0.18 atm + 0.10 atm</span></span>

<span><span>P = 5.37 atm</span></span>

Ammonia, NH3, is a typical ingredient in household cleaners. It is produced through a combination reaction involving N2(g) and H
GalinKa [24]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

We are given the amount of hydrogen gas to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculations.

24.0 mol H2 (2 mol NH3 / 3 mol H2 ) = 16 mol NH3

Therefore, ammonia produced from the reaction given is 16 moles.

What is the difference between alkali metals and halogens?
Airida [17]
<h3>→soft and reactive metals. </h3>

Explanation:

<h3>Alkali metals are soft and reactive metals. They react vigorously with water and become more reactive. And other hand halogens are reactive non metals. ... Halogens can be solid, liquid, gaseous at room temperature and the melting point increase when they get bigger.</h3>
