Chapter 12, Problem 85E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The boiling point of solution that contains non-volatile solutes is given to be $375.3\text{K}$ . The vapor pressure of water above solution at $338\text{K}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The mole fraction of compound is calculated by the formula,

  $\chi =\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

To determine: The vapor pressure of water above solution at $338\text{K}$ .
