9 gram anhydrous oxalic acid (mol. Wt. = 90) was dissolved in 9.9 moles of water. If vapour pressure of pure water is P 1 o c the vapour pressure of solution is
Options
- A0.99 P 1 o
- B0.1 P 1 o
- C0.9 1 P 1 o
- D1.1 P 1 o
Correct answer
A. 0.99 P 1 o
Step-by-step solution
The total vapour pressure of a solution in this case only depends on vapour pressure of water as anhydrous oxalic acid is a non-volatile compound. ∴ Vapour pressure of solution = vapour pressure of Water P w According to Raoult’s law Number of moles of oxalic acid = 9 90 = 0.1 moles ∴ x w = 9.9 9.9 + 0.1 = 0.99 ⇒ P s = P w = 0.99 × P 1 o
