Question

Part 2 I. The density of a 50% water and 50% hanol mixture, by mass, is 0.913 g/mL. Note: the molar masses of water by mass, and ethanol are 18 0 g and 460g the universal gas constant R is 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K. Calculate the molality of this solution assuming that water 8 and 4çQ g the universal gas constant R is 0,0821 L-atm/molK. a. is the solvent in this case. b. Calculate the molarity of this solution assuming that water is the solvent in this case. c. Calculate the mole fractions of water and ethanol in this solution. Calculate the total vapor pressure of this solution if the vapor pressure of pure water at 25 °C is 0.03 atm and the vapor pressure of ethanol is O.0724 atm. Assuming that water is the solvent, calculate the osmotic pressure of this solution at 25 °C. e.

Explanation / Answer

Given 50 % water and 50 % ethanol by mass

assuming 100 g basis

50 g of water , 50 g of ethanol

molar mass of water. 18 g/mol and ethanol is 46 g/mol

NO. of moles of water = 50 g / 18 g/mol = 2.78 moles and for ethanol = 50 g / 46 g/mol = 1.09 moles

Total no. of moles = 2.78 + 1.09 = 3.87 moles

Mole fraction of water Xa = 2.78 moles / 3.87 moles = 0.718

Mole fraction of ethanol Xb = 1.09 moles / 3.87 moles = 0.282

Vapor pressure of water Pa = 0.03 atm

Vapor pressure of ethanol Pb = 0.0724 atm

Total Vapor pressure of solution Po = Pa * Xa + Pb * Xb = 0.03 atm * 0.718 + 0.0724 atm * 0.282 = 0.042 atm

Answer for (d) 0.042 atm

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given

Total mass of solution = 100 g (basis as taken in (d))

Volume of solution = Mass * density = 100 g * 0.913 g/ml = 91.3 ml = 0.0913 L

No. of moles of ethanol in 100 g of solution = 1.09 moles

Molarity of ethanol = 1.09 moles / 0.0913 L = 11.94 mol/L ( or M)

Osmotic pressure Pi = i MRT

i - vant hoff factor of ethanol = 1

M - molarity of solution = 11.94 M (or mol/L)

R - universal gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm /mol.K

T - temperature of solution = 25 C = 298 K

Pi = 1 * 11.94 mol/L * 0.08206 L.atm/mol.K * 298 K = 291.95 atm
