Potassium or any other metals.
1. carbon lies in the 2nd period where silicon in the third period.
2. carbon is a non metal whereas silicon is a metalloid.
3. there are only 3 isotopes of carbon and 23 isotopes of silicon
4. size of silicon atom is larger
5. silicon is heavier than carbon.
The problem applies Charles' law since constant pressure with varying volume and temperature are given. Assuming ideal gas law, the equation to be used is
=
. We make sure the temperatures are expressed in Kelvin, hence the given added with 273. The volume 2 is equal to 25.2881 liters.
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
