Q.
The degree of dissociation of Ca(NO3)2 in dilute aqueous
solution containing 7.0 g of salt per 100.0 g of water at 100∘C is 70%. If the vapour pressure of water at 100∘C is 760 mmHg, the vapour pressure of the solution is
Moles of Ca(NO3)2=1687 present in 100.0 g of water
Since dissociation is 70%, the total number of particles 1687×0.7×3=0.0875=n
Also, moles of solvent =18100=5.55=N
Applying Raoult’s law P∘p∘−psolution=n+Nn
Or 760760−p=0.087+5.550.087
Or 760−P−760[5.6370.087]=760[0.0154]=11.704
Or P=760−11.704=748.2mmHg
