Answer:
a) Xbenzene = 0.283
b) Xtoluene = 0.717
Explanation:
At T = 20°C:
⇒ vapor pressure of benzene (P*b) = 75 torr
⇒ vapor pressure toluene (P*t) = 22 torr
Raoult's law:
∴ Pi: partial pressure of i
∴ Xi: mole fraction
∴ P*i: vapor pressure at T
a) solution: benzene (b) + toluene (t)
∴ Psln = 37 torr; at T=20°C
⇒ Psln = Pb + Pt
∴ Pb = (Xb)*(P*b)
∴ Pt = (Xt)*(P*t)
∴ Xb + Xt = 1
⇒ Psln = 37 torr = (Xb)(75 torr) + (1 - Xb)(22 torr)
⇒ 37 torr - 22 torr = (75 torr)Xb - (22 torr)Xb
⇒ 15 torr = 53 torrXb
⇒ Xb = 15 torr / 53 torr
⇒ Xb = 0.283
b) Xb + Xt = 1
⇒ Xt = 1 - Xb
⇒ Xt = 1 - 0.283
⇒ Xt = 0.717
Some of the NH₄+ will combine with the OH- and shift the equilibrium backwards and from NH₄OH to balance the change produced by addition of NH₄+ ions.
Your answer would be D, single replacement
