If ethanol and chloroform are present in a molar ratio of 2:3 then what is the vapor pressure at 20° C if vapor pressures of pure liquids are 5.95 kPa and 21.17 kPa, respectively?

If ethanol and chloroform are present in a molar ratio of 2:3 then what is the vapor pressure at 20° C if vapor pressures of pure liquids are 5.95 kPa and 21.17 kPa, respectively?

Expert Solution

Explanation :

Given :

P°e = 5.95 kPa

P°c = 21.17 kPa

Mole ratio of ethanol : chloroform : : 2 : 3

The mole fraction of ethanol, Xe = 2/5 = 0.4

Mole fraction of chloroform, Xc = 3/5 = 0.6

From Raoult’s law, P1 = P°1 × X1

Pe = 5.95 × 0.4 = 2.38 kPa

Pc = 21.17 × 0.6 = 12.702 kPa

From Dalton’s law, P (total) = Pe + Pc

P (total)= 2.38 + 12.702

= 15.082 kPa.

The total vapour pressure is 15.08 KPa.

The vapor pressures of benzene and toluene at 95◦C are, respectively, 155.7 kPa and 63.3 kPa. A gaseous mixture consisting of 50 moles of benzene and 50 moles of toluene was cooled to 95◦C. As a result of the cooling, some of the benzene and toluene condensed. If the total pressure above the condensate was 101.3 kPa, calculate: (a) the mole fraction of benzene in the condensate (liquid). (b) the mole fraction of benzene in the gas phase after cooling....
