A solution of methylene chloride (CH,CI,) and ethanol (CH,CH,OH) is boiling at 62.7 °C. A sample of the vapor above the solution is cooled until it condenses. This condensed sample is analyzed, and turns out to be 75.% methylene chloride by mass. Calculate the percent by mass of methylene chloride in the boiling solution. Here's some data you may need: normal vapor pressure density boiling point at 62.7 °C 1.3 mL methylene chloride 40. °C 1588. torr ethanol 78. °C 0.79 mL 411. torr Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution and vapor above it are ideal.
