9.537 g of a non-volatile solute is dissolved in 220.0 g of
water.
The solute does not react with water nor dissociate in
solution.
Assume that the resulting solution displays ideal Raoult's law
behaviour.
At 25°C the vapour pressure of the solution is 23.498
torr.
The vapour pressure of pure water at 25°C is 23.756
torr.
Calculate the molar mass of the solute (g/mol).
71.1 g/mol
Now suppose, instead, that 9.537 g of a volatile
solute is dissolved in 220.0 g of water.
This solute also does not react with water nor dissociate in
solution.
The pure solute displays, at 25°C, a vapour pressure of 2.376
torr.
Again, assume an ideal solution.
If, at 25°C the vapour pressure of this solution is also 23.498
torr.
Calculate the molar mass of this volatile solute.
