What is the vapor pressure (in mm Hg) at 30∘C of a solution prepared by dissolving 30.5 g of acetone in 23.5 g of ethyl acetate?

The vapor pressure of the solution is 284.29 mmHg

Explanation:

From Raoult's law

Vapor pressure of solution = mole fraction of solvent × vapor pressure of solvent

Mass of solute (acetone) = 30.5 g

MW of acetone (CH3COCH3) = 58 g/mol

Number of moles of solute = mass/MW = 30.5/58 = 0.526 mol

Mass of solvent (ethyl acetate) = 23.5g

MW of ethyl acetate (CH3COOC2H5) = 88 g/mol

Number of moles of solvent = mass/MW = 23.5/88 = 0.267 mol

Volume of solvent = 0.267×22.4×1000 = 5980.8 cm^3

Vapor pressure of solvent (P) = nRT/V

n is number of moles of solvent = 0.267 mol

R is gas constant = 82.057 cm^3.atm/mol.K

T is temperature of solution = 30°C = 30+273 = 303 K

V is volume of the solvent = 5980.8 cm^3

P = 0.267×82.057×303/5980.8 = 1.11 atm = 1.11×760 = 843.6 mmHg

Total moles of solution = moles of solute + moles of solvent = 0.526 + 0.267 = 0.793 mol

Mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent/moles of solution = 0.267/0.793 = 0.337

Vapor pressure of solution = 0.337 × 843.6 mmHg = 284.29 mmHg

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
