Solutions and Colligative Properties 1 Question 16
22. The vapour pressure of pure benzene at a certain temperature is $640 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$. A non-volatile, non-electrolyte solid weighing $2.175 \mathrm{~g}$ is added to $39.0 \mathrm{~g}$ of benzene. The vapour pressure of the solution is $600 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$. What is the molecular weight of the solid substance?
