Two solvents A and B are mixed together. if the molecular weight for A is 50.46 g/mol and the molecular weight for B is 115.6 g/mol. A solution is made by mixing 2.00 g of each organic volatile solvent at 0.00 °C. If the partial pressure of the organic solvent A in the mixture was exactly 125 torr. What is the total pressure of the solution?

Question

Two solvents A and B are mixed together. if the molecular weight for A is 50.46 g/mol and the molecular weight for B is 115.6 g/mol. A solution is made by mixing 2.00 g of each organic volatile solvent at 0.00 °C. If the partial pressure of the organic solvent A in the mixture was exactly 125 torr. What is the total pressure of the solution? 

Expert Solution
Introduction

Use Dalton's law  to find the total pressure of the solution.

P = PA + PB

PA = 125 torr 
MA=50.46 g/mol
MB=115.6g/mol

Also PA = PtotalXA
where Xis the mole fraction of component A
