CALCULATING THE VAPOR PRESSURE OF A SOLUTION
What is the vapor pressure in mm Hg of a solution made by dissolving 18.3 g of NaCl in 500.0 g of H_{2}O at 70 °C, assuming a van’t Hoff factor of 1.9? The vapor pressure of pure water at 70 °C is 233.7 mm Hg.
STRATEGY
According to Raoult’s law, the vapor pressure of the solution equals the vapor pressure of pure solvent times the mole fraction of the solvent in the solution. Thus, we have to find the numbers of moles of solvent and solute and then calculate the mole fraction of solvent.
