A 12.0-g sample of a nonelectrolyte is dissolved in 80.0 g of water. The solution freezes at −1.94 °C. Calculate the molar mass of the substance. The Vapour Pressure of the Solution is 23.35 Tor.
Question: The vapor pressure of methanol, \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH}}\) , is 94 tor at 20 °C. The vapor pressure of ethanol,\({{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{5}}}{\bf{OH}}\) , is 44 tor at the same temperature.
(a) Calculate the mole fraction of methanol and of ethanol in a solution of 50.0 g of methanol and 50.0 g of ethanol.
(b) Ethanol and methanol form a solution that behaves like an ideal solution. Calculate the vapor pressure of methanol and of ethanol above the solution at 20 °C.
(c) Calculate the mole fraction of methanol and of ethanol in the vapor above the solution.
