Answer:
Mole fraction of solute is 0.0462
Explanation:
To solve this we use the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure.
First of all, we search for vapor pressure of pure water at 25°C = 23.8 Torr
Now, we convert the Torr to mmHg. Ratio is 1:1, so 23.8 Torr is 23.8 mmHg.
Formula for lowering vapor pressure is:
ΔP = P° . Xm
Where ΔP = P' (Vapor pressure of solution) - P° (Vapor pressure of pure solvent)
Xm = mole fraction
24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg = 23mmHg . Xm
Xm = (24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg) / 23mmHg
Xm = 0.0462
Answer:
D) It has a different unit than atomic mass.
