Solutions Question 310

Question: Vapour pressure of chloroform (CHCl3) and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) at 25 C are 200 mm Hg and 41.5 mm Hg respectively. Vapour pressure of the solution obtained by mixing 25.5 g of CHCl3 and 40 g of CH2Cl2 at the same temperature will be: (Molecular mass of CHCl3=119.5u and molecular mass of CH2Cl2=85u ).

Options:

A) 90.92 mm Hg

B) 115.0 mm Hg

C) 147.9 mm Hg

D) 285.5 mm Hg

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

nCHCl3=25.5119.5=0.213

nCH2Cl2=4085=0.47

PT=PA0XA+PB0XB

=200×0.2130.683+41.5×0.470.683

=62.37+28.55=90.92
