Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW :

At a certain temperature, the vapor pressure of pure methanol is measured to be 0.43atm. Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing 88.2 g of methanol and 116.g of water. Calculate the partial pressure of methanol vapor above this solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution is ideal.

Using Raoult´s law for ideal soultions we have

P(A) = X(A) *Pº(A)

where P(A) is the partial vapor pressure pressure of methanol,

X(A) is the mole fraction of solute (methanol) in solution,

Pº(A) is the vapor pressure of pure solute

Raoult's law states that the vapor pressure of a solution is dependent on the mole fraction of a solute added to the solution.

Raoult's law can be expressed below

Psolution = ΧsolventP0solvent.

Expressing it interns of the constituents given in the question we have

P(CH₃OH) = X(CH₃OH) x Pº(CH₃OH)

To calculate the mole fraction of CH₃OH, we make use of the formula below :

X(A) = mol (A) / ntotal

Ntotal = (sum of number of moles of A )+( moles solvent)

mol (CH₃3OH) can be calculated as :: 88.2 g/ 32 g/mol = 2.76 mol of CH₃OH

mol (H₂O) can be calculated as ::116 g/ 18 g/mol = 6.44 mol

total n = (6.44 + 2.76) mol = 9.20 mol

To calculate the partial pressure the we say;

P(CH₃OH) = (2.76 mol CH + 9.20 mol) x( 0.43 atm) = 0.13 atm

Hence, the partial pressure rounded to two significant figures is 0.13 atm

just did the assignment and the answer was #1 +2 n

warm front forms when a moist, warm air mass slides up and over a cold air mass. as the warm air mass rises, it condenses into a broad area of clouds. a warm front brings gentle rain or light snow, followed by warmer, milder weather.
