Q.
The vapour pressure of water at 23∘C is i9.8 mm of Hg.0.1 mol of glucose is dissolved in 178.2 g of water. What is the vapour pressure (in mm Hg) of the resultant solution?
Moles of glucose; nC6H12O6=0.1 Moles of water; nH2O=18178.2=9.9 Mole fraction of water, xH2O=9.9+0.19.9=0.99Psolution=Psolvent×xsolvent=19.8×0.99=19.602mmHg
