Chapter 12, Problem 12.6P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The vapor pressure of solution containing $55.3\text{g}$ of ethylene glycol and $285.2\text{g}$ of water at $25°\text{C}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The partial pressure of solution is calculated by the formula,

  $P_{\text{soln}}={\chi }_{{\text{H}}_2\text{O}}\times P_{{\text{H}}_2\text{O}}^{\text{ο}}$

To determine: The vapor pressure of solution containing $55.3\text{g}$ of ethylene glycol and $285.2\text{g}$ of water at $25°\text{C}$ .
