Q.
Calculate the mass (g) of NaCI that has to be dissolved to reduce the vapour pressure of 100 g of water by 10% (Molar mass NaCl=58.5gmol−1 ).(Round off your answer to the nearest integer.)
The mass (g) of NaCI can be calculated from Raoult's law Ps=P0× mole fraction of solvent 90=100×(18100+58.5w×2100/18) 0.9(18100+58.5w×2)=18100 ⇒w=18.11∼eq18gm
