A nonvolatile solute is dissolved in benzene so that it has a mole fraction of 0.139. What is the vapor pressure of the solution? (P° of benzene is 26.5 torr)

The vapor pressure of the solution is 3.69 torr

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mole fraction of benzene in the solution = 0.139

P° of benzene is 26.5 torr

Step 2: Calculate the vapor pressure of the solution

Psolution = Xbenzene * P°benzene

⇒with Psolution = the vapor pressure of the solution

⇒with Xbenzene = the mole fraction of benzene = 0.139

⇒with P°benzene = the vapor pressure of pure benzene = 26.5 torr

Psolution = 0.139 * 26.5 torr

Psolution = 3.69 torr

The vapor pressure of the solution is 3.69 torr

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.
