the vapor pressure of a glucose (C6H12O6) solution is 17.01 mm Hg at 20 degrees Celcius, while that of pure H2O is 17.25 mm Hg at the same temperature. Calculate the molality of the solution.

  1. p = p° X

    17.01 = 17.25 X

    X = mole fraction water =  0.986

    0.986 = moles water / moles water + moles glucose

    moles water = 0.986

    mass water = 0.986 mol x 18.02 g/mol =  17.8 g => 0.0178 Kg

    Moles water + moles glucose = 1

    moles glucose = 1 - 0.986 = 0.0140

    molality = 0.0140 / 0.0178 = 0.787
