Assume you have a solution containing two volateile liquids. given the data for liquid a: mm = 13.45 g/mole, partial pressure = 1.055 atm and for liquid b: mm = 45.67 g/mole, partial pressure = 0.889 atm, what is the a: b ratio of the distillate? a. 0.35: 1 b. 3.5: 1 c. 7: 3 d. 5: 1 e. 2: 1

answerto predict;

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is
