Question

At 293k ,the vapour pressure of water is 17mmHg. calculate the vapour pressure of solution in which 6g urea is dissolved in 100g water​

Answer 1

Answer:

Vapour pressure of water= P

1

o

=17mmHg

Weight of water= W

1

=50g

Weight of urea= W

2

=2.8g

Molar mass of water= M

1

=18g/mol⇒n

1

=

18

50

=2.78

Molar mass of water= M

2

=60g/mol⇒n

2

=

60

2.8

=0.047

∴ Vapour pressure of solution P

1

P

o

−P

1

=

17−P

1

=

2.78+0.047

0.047

=0.0166

⇒P

1

=16.71mmHg

Hope it helps you!!!!!
