Solutions

A solution of a anon volatile solute in water freezes at -30 degree C. The vapour pressure ofthe pure water at 298K is 23.51 mm Hg and Kf for water is 1.86 K kg/mol.

Calculate the vapour pressure o fthis solution at 298k

ΔP/P° = n/(n+N)

For very dilute soln. n<<N

So, ΔP/P° = n/N

Usually this approximation does not bring about a considerable change in the final ans.

BUT....
Here ,

Ans. : 21.23489 mm (with the approximation)
and 18.22025 mm (without the approximation)

ΔTf=Kf m
S
30=1.86 x m
m=30/1.86 = 16.12

AND WE KNOW THAT

XA/XB X 1000/MB=m

16.12=X/1-X X1000 /18

X=0.224

AND

p0-ps/p0=Xsolute(a non volatile solute is mentioned )

23.51-ps/23.51 =Xs

23.51-ps/23.51=0.224

ps =18.24
