Question
Urea forms an ideal solution in water. Determine the vapour pressure of an aqueous solution contains 10% by mass of urea at 400C. (Vapour pressure of water at 400C = 55.3 mm of Hg)
Solution
Answer:
= xurea
Let the mass of solution be 100g
therefore mass of urea = 10 g
molecular mass of urea = 60 g
xurea = 10/60 =1/6
molecular mass of water = 18g
xwater = 90/18 =5
