38 4 ~g of unknown substance (molar mass 384 ~g ~mol ⁻¹ ) and 116 ~g of acetone is used to prepare a solution at 313 ~K . If vapour pressure of pure acetone (molar mass 58 ~g ~mol ⁻¹ ) is 0.842 atmosphere, what is the vapour pressure of solution?
Options
- A0.650 ~atm
- B0.880 ~atm .
- C0.7999 ~atm .
- D0.958 ~atm
Correct answer
C. 0.7999 ~atm .
Step-by-step solution
n ₂= 38.4 384 =0.1 ~mol solute n ₁= 116 58 =2 ~mol solvent (acetone) Mole fraction ; x₁= n₁ n₁+n₂ = 2 2+0.1 =0.95 By Raoult's law, the vapour pressure of the solution is given by P=x₁ P₀=0.95 0.842 ~atm =0.7999 ~atm
