Question
Calculate the vapour- pressure lowering of water when5.67g of glucose, C6H12O6 is dissolved in 25.2 g water at 250C. The vapour pressure of water at 250C is 23.8 mmHg. What is the vapour pressure of the solution?
Solution
WB =5.67g
WA =25.2g
MB=180g/mol
MA=18g/mol
NB= 5.67/180 =0.0315 mol glucose
NA=25.2/18 =1.40 mol water
