calculate the mass of non volatile solute ( molecular mass = 40) which should be dissolved in 114g of octane to reduce its vapour pressure to 80%?
in this question if we are directly applying the formulae
(psolvent - psol n )/p solvent = (wb *ma)/(mb*wa)
putting p solvent = x
psol n = 0.8x
mb = 40
wa = 114 = ma
we get answer = 8g which is incorrect as correct answer is 10g
could you kindly explain why is it so?
as we can follow any method then answer should come correct?

Answer:

From Raults Law

(po-p1)/po = X (molefraction)

(po-p1)/po = n2/n1 (if n2 is smaller than n1 if not then n1+n2)

(po-p1)/po = w2/m2*m1/w1

so by these equation we can find molar massxplanation:
