Spectrophotometric cell or a cuvette is made of quartz for UV spectrophotometers. These cuvettes are used as sample holders for the spectrophotometric determination of the analytes. The material that makes up the cuvette and the condition of the cuvette is to be taken care of in order to avoid erroneous absorbance readings. The sample holder or the cuvette must be removed from the spectrophotometer in between two successive readings. This is to ensure that the light sensing detector of the instrument is not affected.
Answer:
P' = 41.4 mmHg → Vapor pressure of solution
Explanation:
ΔP = P° . Xm
ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent (P°) - Vapor pressure of solution (P')
Xm = Mole fraction for solute (Moles of solvent /Total moles)
Firstly we determine the mole fraction of solute.
Moles of solute → Mass . 1 mol / molar mass
20.2 g . 1 mol / 342 g = 0.0590 mol
Moles of solvent → Mass . 1mol / molar mass
60.5 g . 1 mol/ 18 g = 3.36 mol
Total moles = 3.36 mol + 0.0590 mol = 3.419 moles
Xm = 0.0590 mol / 3.419 moles → 0.0172
Let's replace the data in the formula
42.2 mmHg - P' = 42.2 mmHg . 0.0172
P' = - (42.2 mmHg . 0.0172 - 42.2 mmHg)
P' = 41.4 mmHg
