Three 1.0-l flasks, maintained at 308 k, are connected to each other with stopcocks. initially the stopcocks are closed. one of

the flasks contains 1.5 atm of n2, the second 2.2 g of h2o, and the third, 0.30 g of ethanol, c2h6o. the vapor pressure of h2o at 308 k is 42 mmhg and that of ethanol is 102 mmhg. the stopcocks are then opened and the contents mix freely. what is the pressure

Answer:

0.6103 atm.

Explanation:

  • We need to calculate the vapor pressure of each component after the stopcocks are opened.
  • Volume after the stopcocks are opened = 3.0 L.

<u><em>1) For N₂:</em></u>

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = 1.5 atm & V₁ = 1.0 L & V₂ = 3.0 L.

P₂ of N₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂ = (1.5 atm) (1.0 L) / (3.0 L) = 0.5 atm.

<u><em>2) For H₂O:</em></u>

Pressure of water at 308 K is 42.0 mmHg.

we need to convert from mmHg to atm: <em>(1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg)</em>.

P of H₂O = (1.0 atm x 42.0 mmHg) / (760.0 mmHg) = 0.0553 atm.

We must check if more 2.2 g of water is evaporated,

n = PV/RT = (0.0553 atm) (3.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K) (308 K) = 0.00656 mole.

m = n x cmolar mass = (0.00656 mole) (18.0 g/mole) = 0.118 g.

It is lower than the mass of water in the flask (2.2 g).

<em><u>3) For C₂H₅OH:</u></em>

Pressure of C₂H₅OH at 308 K is 102.0 mmHg.

we need to convert from mmHg to atm: (1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg).

P of C₂H₅OH = (1.0 atm x 102.0 mmHg) / (760.0 mmHg) = 0.13421 atm.

We must check if more 0.3 g of C₂H₅OH is evaporated,

n = PV/RT = (0.13421 atm) (3.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K) (308 K) = 0.01594 mole.

m = n x molar mass = (0.01594 mole) (46.07 g/mole) = 0.7344 g.

<em>It is more than the amount in the flask (0.3 g), so the pressure should be less than 0.13421 atm.</em>

We have n = mass / molar mass = (0.30 g) / (46.07 g/mole) = 0.00651 mole.

So, P of C₂H₅OH = nRT / V = (0.00651 mole) (0.082 L.atm/mole.K) (308.0 K) / (3.0 L) = 0.055 atm.

  • <em>So, </em><em>total pressure</em><em> = </em><em>P of N₂ + P of H₂O + P of C₂H₅OH</em><em> = 0.5 atm + 0.0553 atm + 0.055 atm = </em><em>0.6103 atm</em><em>.</em>

What is true about solubility
LekaFEV [45]

Explanation:

Solubility is defined as a property of solutes by virtue of which they get dissolved in a favorable solvent. The solute can only be dissolved in any suitable solvent up to a limit at a given temperature. This is a characteristic of the the solute-solvent pairing.
