Grams ethanol = 33 ml times .789 gms/ml = 26.037 gms
<span>Moles ethanol = 26.037 gms / 46 gms/mole = .57 moles </span>
<span>Moles water = 67 ml or 67 grams/18 gms/mole = 3.22 moles </span>
<span>total moles = .57 + 3.72 = 4.29 moles </span>
<span>Mole fraction ethanol = .57 moles ethanol / 4.29 moles total = 0.13</span>
<span>Moles fraction water = 3.72 moles water / 4.29 moles total = 0.87</span>
<span>Partial pressure of ethanol = mole fraction ethanol (.13) _ times VP ethanol 43.9 torr) = 5.707 torr </span>
<span>partial pressure water = mole fraction water .87) times VP water (l7.5 torr) = 15.23 torr </span>
<span>Total vapor pressure over solution = 5.71 torr + 15.23 torr = 20.94 torr</span>
The chemical formula for the compound magnesium perchlorate is Mg(ClO₄)₂
Magnesium perchlorate or Mg(ClO₄)₂ is an ionic compound.
Perchlorate here is an anion which is represented by ClO₄⁻. Perchlorate is a polyatiomic anion, where one Cl atom is bonded to four O atoms.
The magnesium cation is represented by Mg²⁺
So one Mg²⁺ cation combines with two ClO₄⁻ anion to form one molecule of Mg(ClO₄)₂
