Question
Problem 99AE
A ‘canned heat' product used to warm buffet dishes consists of a homogeneous mixture of ethanol (C2H5OH) and paraffin, which has an average formula of C24H5O. What mass of C2H5OH should be added to 620 kg of the paraffin to produce 8 torr of ethanol vapor pressure at 35 °C? The vapor pressure of pure ethanol at 35 °C is 100 torr.
Solution
