the vapor pressure of a solution of cholesterol in toluene at 32°c is 2.75 torr. pure toluene has a vapor pressure of 41 torr at 32.°c what is the mole fraction and the mass of cholesterol if the toluene is 5.4 mol?​

Sagot :

The mole fraction : X solute = 0.933

The mass  : = 29,075 g

Further explanation

Solution properties are the properties of a solution that don't depend on the type of solute but only on the concentration of the solute.

Solution properties of electrolyte solutions differ from non-electrolyte solutions because electrolyte solutions contain a greater number of particles because electrolytes break down into ions. So the Solution properties of electrolytes are greater than non-electrolytes.

Vapor pressure depends on the mole fraction of the components in the solution

P solution = Xs . P°  

P = solution vapor pressure

P ° = solvent vapor pressure

Xs = solvent mole fraction

ΔP = P ° - P where

ΔP = decrease in vapor pressure

ΔP = X solute . P° solvent

Given

P solution = 2.75 torr

P° toluene = 41 torr

mol toluene = 5.4 mol

Required

the mole fraction and the mass of cholesterol

Solution

ΔP = X solute . P ° solvent

P ° solvent - P solution = X solute . P° solvent

41 - 2.75 = X solute . 41

X solute = 0.933

X solute = n solute : ( n solute + n solvent)

0.933 = n solute : ( n solute + 5.4 )

0.933  ( n solute + 5.4 ) = n solute

n solute = 75.197

Cholesterol C₂₇H₄₆O, molar mass = 386,65 g/mol

The mass :

= mol x molar mass

= 75.197 mol x 386,65 g/mol

= 29,075 g
