Answer:
0.35 atm
Explanation:
It seems the question is incomplete. But an internet search shows me these values for the question:
" At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure thiophene (C₄H₄S) is measured to be 0.60 atm. Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing 137. g of thiophene and 111. g of heptane (C₇H₁₆). Calculate the partial pressure of thiophene vapor above this solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution is ideal."
Keep in mind that if the values in your question are different, your answer will be different too. <em>However the methodology will remain the same.</em>
First we <u>calculate the moles of thiophene and heptane</u>, using their molar mass:
- 137 g thiophene ÷ 84.14 g/mol = 1.63 moles thiophene
- 111 g heptane ÷ 100 g/mol = 1.11 moles heptane
Total number of moles = 1.63 + 1.11 = 2.74 moles
The<u> mole fraction of thiophene</u> is:
Finally, the <u>partial pressure of thiophene vapor is</u>:
Partial pressure = Mole Fraction * Vapor pressure of Pure Thiophene
- Partial Pressure = 0.59 * 0.60 atm
It is a compound because a compound is two or more different elements chemically combined.
