A solution M is prepared by mixing ethanol and water. The mole fraction of ethanol in the mixture is 0.9 Given: Freezing point depression constant of water (K_(f)^(water)=1.86 K kg mol^(-1)) Freezing point depression constant to ethanol (K_(f)^(ethanol))=2.0 K kg mol^(-1)) Boiling point elevation constant of water (K_(b)^(water))=0.52 K kg mol^(-1)) Boiling point elevation constant of ethanol (K_(b)^(ethanol))=1.2 K kg mol^(-1)) Standard freezing point of water = 273 K Standard freezing point of ethanol = 155.7 K Standard boilingpoint of water = 373 K Standard boilingpoint of ethanol = 351.5 K Vapour pressure of pure water =32.8 mm Hg Vapour pressure of pure ethanol =40 mm Hg Molecular weight of water =18 g mol^(-1) Molecular weight of ethanol =46 g mol^(-1) In anwering the following questions consider the solutions to be ideal dilute solutions and solutes to be non-volatile and non-dissociative. The vapour pressure of the solution M is |

Answer» `39.3 MM Hg` `p= 40 xx 0.9= 36` mm Hg Since it is GIVEN that SOLUTE is taken as NON volatile, WATER does not contribute to the total vapour pressure. |
