If you cannot get a chair to move across the floor, it is because static friction opposes your push. When you say static or kinetic friction the two object that facing each other are opposing each other. That's why you're having a hard time pushing the chair.
Answer:
0.144 kg of water
Explanation:
From Raoult's law,
Mole fraction of solvent = vapor pressure of solution ÷ vapor pressure of solvent = 423 mmHg ÷ 528.8 mmHg = 0.8
Let the moles of solvent (water) be y
Moles of solute (C3H8O3) = 2 mole
Total moles of solution = moles of solvent + moles of solute = (y + 2) mol
Mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent/total moles of solution
0.8 = y/(y + 2)
y = 0.8(y + 2)
y = 0.8y + 1.6
y - 0.8y = 1.6
0.2y = 1.6
y = 1.6/0.2 = 8
Moles of solvent (water) = 8 mol
Mass of water = moles of water × MW = 8 mol × 18 g/mol = 144 g = 144/1000 = 0.144 kg
