Q.
The vapour pressure of pure water at 26∘C is 25.5 torr.. The vapour pressure of a solution which contains 20.0 glucose, (C6H12O6), in 100g water (in torr) is? (report the answer by rounding off to the nearest integer)
Using Roult's law equation PA0PA0−PA=nA+nBnB
Or PAPA0−PA=nAnB PA= the vapour pressure of the pure solution PA0= the vapour pressure of the pure component nB : moles of solute nA : moles of solvent PAPA0−PA=nAnB PA25.5−PA=1810018020 PA25.5−PA=100×18020×18=0.02 25.5−PA=0.02PA 1.02PA=25.5 PA=25.0
