The vapor pressure of pure ethanol at 60 degrees C is 0./459 atm. Raoult's Law predicts that a solution prepared by dissolving 10.0 mmol naphthalene (nonvolatile) in 90.0 mmol ethanol will have a vapor pressure of __________ atm.

  1. Since napthalene is a nonvolatile component hense total vapour pressure of solution is due to vapour pressure of ethanol.

    vapour pressure of solution =vapour pressure of ethanol in solution

                 =mole fraction of ethanol in solution into vapour pressure of ethanol in pure state

    Total no. of milli moles of solution =10 + 90 =100

    Mole fraction of ethanol =90\100 = 0.90

    VAPOUR PRESSURE OF SOLUTION =0.90 INTO 0.459 = 0.4131 atm.


  2. Total millimoles = 10 + 90 = 100.0 => 0.100 moles

    mole fraction ethanol = 0.0900 mol / 0.100 =0.90

    p = p° X

    p = 0.459 x 0.90 = 0.413 atm
