Molar mass of C6H6,
MM = 6*MM(C) + 6*MM(H)
= 6*12.01 + 6*1.008
= 78.108 g/mol
Molar mass of C12H10,
MM = 12*MM(C) + 10*MM(H)
= 12*12.01 + 10*1.008
= 154.2 g/mol
n(C6H6) = mass/molar mass
= 32.0/78.108
= 0.4097
n(C12H10) = mass/molar mass
= 17.7/154.2
= 0.1148
n(C6H6),n1 = 0.4097 mol
n(C12H10),n2 = 0.1148 mol
Total number of mol = n1+n2
= 0.4097 + 0.1148
= 0.5245 mol
use:
Mole fraction of C6H6
X(C6H6) = n1/total mol
= 0.4097/0.5245
= 0.7811
According to Raoult’s law:
P = Po*X(solvent)
p = 100.84*0.7811
p = 78.8 torr
Answer: 78.8 torr
