What is the vapor pressure at 20 °c of an ideal solution prepared by the addition of 7.38 g of the nonvolatile solute urea, co(nh2)2, to 56.9 g of methanol, ch3oh? the vapor pressure of pure methanol at 20 °c is 89.0 mm hg.

a. 5.75 mm hg

b?

83.24 mmHg.

Explanation:

where, Psolution is the vapor pressure of the solution,

Xmethanol is the mole fraction of methanol,

P°methanol is the pure vapor pressure of methanol.

Xmethanol = (n)methanol/(n) total.

where, n methanol is the no. of moles of methanol.

n total is the total no. of moles of methanol and urea.

n of methanol = mass/molar mass = (56.9 g)/(32.04 g/mol) = 1.776 mol.

n of urea = mass/molar mass = (7.38 g )/(60.06 g/mol) = 0.123 mol.

∴ Xmethanol = (n)methanol/(n) total = (1.776 mol)/(1.776 mol + 0.123 mol) = 0.935.

∴ Psolution = (Xmethanol)(P°methanol) = (0.935)(89.0 mmHg) = 83.24 mmHg.

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
