Question

dicate the answer choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. J Benzene, (MW 78.11 g/mol) Cole, and toluene.(MW 92.14 ymol) Col,CH3, form ideal solutions. At 35°C the vapor pressure of benzene is 160. torr and that of toluene is 50.0 torr. In an experiment, s the gufbenvene and 56.2 g of toluene are placed in a closed container at 35s"C. At equilibrium, what is the partial vapor pressure of benzene? a 116 torr b. 89.6 torr c. 22.0 torr d. 70.4 torr e. 28.0 torr 22. What is the vapor pressure at 75°C of an aqueous solution prepared by the addition of 60.1 g of the nonvolatile solute urea, CO(ONH2)2, to 179 g of water? The vapor pressure of pure water at 75 C 290. mmHg. a. 263 mmHg 5.) 21 7 mmilg c. 137 mmHg d. 26.5 mmHg e. 153 mmHg

Explanation / Answer

Ans 21

Moles of benzene = mass/molecular weight

= 60.6g / 78.11g/mol

= 0.7758 mol

Moles of toluene = mass/molecular weight

= 56.2g / 92.14g/mol

= 0.6099 mol

Total Moles = 1.3857 mol

Mol fraction of benzene = moles of benzene /total moles

= 0.7758/1.3857

= 0.5598

Mol fraction of toluene = moles of toluene /total moles

= 0.6099/1.3857

= 0.4402

From the Raoult’s law

Partial vapor pressure of benzene

= mol fraction of benzene x vapor pressure of benzene

= 0.5598 x 160

= 89.58

= 89.6 torr

Option B is the correct answer
