Calculate the vapor pressure at 35ºC of a solution made by dissolving 20.2 g of sucrose (C12H22O11)in 60.5 g of water. The vapor pressure of pure water at 35ºC is 42.2 mmHg. What is the vapor-pressure depressionof the solution(in units of mmHg)? (Sucrose is nonvolatile)

P' = 41.4 mmHg → Vapor pressure of solution

Explanation:

ΔP = P° . Xm

ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent (P°) - Vapor pressure of solution (P')

Xm = Mole fraction for solute (Moles of solvent /Total moles)

Firstly we determine the mole fraction of solute.

Moles of solute → Mass . 1 mol / molar mass

20.2 g . 1 mol / 342 g = 0.0590 mol

Moles of solvent → Mass . 1mol / molar mass

60.5 g . 1 mol/ 18 g = 3.36 mol

Total moles = 3.36 mol + 0.0590 mol = 3.419 moles

Xm = 0.0590 mol / 3.419 moles → 0.0172

Let's replace the data in the formula

42.2 mmHg - P' = 42.2 mmHg . 0.0172

P' = - (42.2 mmHg . 0.0172 - 42.2 mmHg)

P' = 41.4 mmHg

answer: h+ its less than oh

explanation:

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
