A solution of methyl acetate (C3H6O₂) and water is boiling at 79.8 °C. A sample of the vapor above the solution is cooled until it condenses. This condense sample is analyzed, and turns out to be 90.% methyl acetate by mass. Calculate the percent by mass of methyl acetate in the boiling solution. Here's some data you may need: methyl acetate water []% normal boiling point 57. °C 100. °C density 0.938 mL 1.00 g mL vapor pressure at 79.8 °C 1551. torr 359. torr Be sure your answer has 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution and vapor above it are ideal.
