Question

A solution contains 4.93 g of chloroform and 8.03 g of acetone. The vapor pressure at 35°C of pure chloroform and pure acetone are 295 and 332 torr respectively. assuming ideal behavior, calculate the vapor pressure of acetone

Expert Solution

Step 1: Vapor pressure of a component in a mixture

According to Raoult's Law, when two compounds are mixed to make an ideal solution then vapor pressure of a component (chloroform) is:

$straight P subscript CHCl subscript 3 end subscript equals straight y subscript CHCl subscript 3 end subscript cross times straight P subscript CHCl subscript 3 end subscript superscript 0$

Here:

$straight P subscript CHCl subscript 3 end subscript equals Vapor space pressure space of space chloroform space in space solution straight y subscript CHCl subscript 3 end subscript equals Mole space fraction space of space chloroform straight P subscript CHCl subscript 3 end subscript superscript 0 equals Vapor space pressure space of space pure space chloroform$

According to Raoult's Law, when two compounds are mixed to make an ideal solution then vapor pressure of a component (acetone) is:

$straight P subscript a c e t o n e end subscript equals straight y subscript a c e t o n e end subscript cross times straight P subscript a c e t o n e end subscript superscript 0$

Here:

$straight P subscript a c e t o n e end subscript equals Vapor space pressure space of space a c e t o n e space in space solution straight y subscript a c e t o n e end subscript equals Mole space fraction space of space a c e t o n e straight P subscript a c e t o n e end subscript superscript 0 equals Vapor space pressure space of space pure space a c e t o n e$
