A solution contains 4.08 g of chloroform (CHCl3) and 9.29 g of acetone (CH3COCH3). The vapor pressures at 35 ∘C of pure chloroform and pure acetone are 295 torr and 332 torr, respectively.
Assuming ideal behavior, calculate the vapor pressures of each of the components and the total vapor pressure above the solution.
I calculated this out and got a vapor pressure of 325 torr; is this right? Why or why not? Can you tell me why and how the vapor pressure is affected by the increase in moles per solution.
