QUESTION:
How many grams of urea [\(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{2}\right)_{2} \mathrm{CO}\)] must be added to 450 g of water to give a solution with a vapor pressure 2.50 mmHg less than that of pure water at 30°C? (The vapor pressure of water at 30°C is 31.8 mmHg.)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The vapor pressure of the solvent over a solution is given by the product of the vapor pressure of the pure solvent and the mole fraction of the solvent in the solution is stated by Raoult's law.
where and are the partial pressures over the solution for components and
and are the vapor pressures of the pure substances
and are their mole fractions.
