Answer:
The vapor pressure of the solution is 23.636 torr
Explanation:
Where;
is the vapor pressure of the solution
is the mole fraction of the solvent
is the vapor pressure of the pure solvent
Thus,
15.27 g of NaCl = [(15.27)/(58.5)]moles = 0.261 moles of NaCl
0.67 kg of water = [(0.67*1000)/(18)]moles = 37.222 moles of H₂O
Mole fraction of solvent (water) = (number of moles of water)/(total number of moles present in solution)
Mole fraction of solvent (water) = (37.222)/(37.222+0.261)
Mole fraction of solvent (water) = 0.993
<u>Note:</u> the vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 0.0313 atm
Therefore, the vapor pressure of the solution = 0.993 * 0.0313 atm
the vapor pressure of the solution = 0.0311 atm = 23.636 torr
