Chapter 13, Problem 13.48QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Amount of Sucrose added to 552g of water to make a solution with vapor pressure of 2.0mmHg has to be calculated.

Concept introduction

Raoult’s law states that in an ideal mixture of liquid solution, partial pressure of every component is equal to its mole fraction multiplied into vapour pressure of its pure components.

${\text{P}}_{}{\text{= χ}}_{}{\text{P}}^{\text{°}}$

Where,

P- Partial pressure of each component

$\text{P°-}$ Partial pressure of its pure components

${\text{χ}}_{\text{1}}$- Mole fraction of the components
