Answer:
A) The lowering in vapour pressure is 0.7839 torr
B) The lowering in vapour pressure is 3.1572 torr
Explanation:
The relative lowering of vapour pressure formula is ::
- Δ[tex]\frac{P}{P_{0}} = i*\frac{m*M}{1000}[/tex]
where ,
- Δ[tex]P[/tex] is the lowering of vapour pressure ([tex]atm/torr[/tex])
- [tex]P_{0} is the vapour pressure of the solvent ([tex]atm/torr[/tex])
- [tex]m[/tex] is the molality of the solution ( [tex]molkg^{-1}[/tex] )
- [tex]M[/tex] is the molecular weight of the solvent ( [tex]g[/tex] )
- [tex]i[/tex] is the vant hoff factor or dissociation constan
The values :
A)
- [tex]P_{0}=17.54torr[/tex]
- [tex]m=2.50m[/tex]
- [tex]i=1[/tex]
- [tex]M(H_2O)=2+16=18g[/tex]
⇒ΔP = [tex]17.54*(1)*\frac{2.5*18}{1000}\\=0.7893torr[/tex]
B)
- [tex]P_{0}=17.54torr[/tex]
- [tex]m=2.50m[/tex]
- [tex]i=4[/tex] ( since, it's [tex]AlCl_3[/tex] it spilts into 1 [tex]Al^{3+}[/tex] and 3 [tex]Cl^-[/tex] ions and as a results, there are 4 ions.
- [tex]M(H_2O)=2+16=18g[/tex]
⇒ΔP = [tex]17.54*4*\frac{2.50*18}{1000} \\=3.1572torr[/tex]
