Use the vapour pressures (at 0 °C) of the pure substances below
to answer the following questions.
Substance | P* (kPa) | |
3-pentanone (C5H10O) | 1.18 | |
3-methyl-2-butanone (C5H10O) | 1.62 |
1. Determine the partial pressure (in kPa) of 3-methyl-2-butanone
(C5H10O) in the vapour phase (at 0 °C) over a
solution for which the mole fraction of 3-pentanone
(C5H10O) is 0.787. Report your answer to
three significant figures in scientific notation.
A solution of 3-pentanone (C5H10O) and
3-methyl-2-butanone (C5H10O) is prepared by
adding 5.22 g of 3-pentanone to 7.46 g of 3-methyl-2-butanone.
Determine the mole fraction of 3-pentanone in the vapor phase (at 0
°C). Report your answer to three significant figures in scientific
notation.
