Chapter 12, Problem 86E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The density of $0.438\text{M}$ solution of potassium chromate solution is given to be $1.063\text{g}/\text{mL}$ . The vapor pressure of water above the solution at $298\text{K}$ 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 the solution at $298\text{K}$ .
