At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure acetic acid (HCH,CO,) is measured to be 130. mmHg. Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing 91.2 g of acetic acid and 80.7 g of methanol (CH;OH). Calculate the partial pressure of acetic acid vapor above this solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution is ideal.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

The  vapour pressure of pure acetic acid (HCH3CO2) = 130 mmHg

Mass of acetic acid (HCH3CO2)  = 91.2 g

Mass of methanol (CH3OH) = 80.7 g

The partial pressure of acetic Acid vapours above the solution = ?

Note: 

Molar mass of acetic acid (HCH3CO2) =  (2×12 + 4×1 +2×16) g/mol = 60.0 g/mol

Molar mass of methanol (CH3OH) = (12 + 4×1 + 16) g/mol = 32 g/mol
