Answer from: Jadiahd

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The given data is as follows.

$P^{o}_{1}$ = 511 torr, $P^{o}_{2}$ = 150 torr

Mass of pentane = volume × density

= $25 ml \times 50.63 g/mL$

= 1265.75 g

Mass of hexane = volume × density

= $45 ml \times 50.66 g/ml$

= 2279.7 g

Now, we will calculate the moles of both pentane and hexane as follows.

No. of moles of pentane = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{1265.75 g}{72 g/mol}$

= 17.58 mol

No. of moles of hexane = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{2279.7 g}{86 g/mol}$

= 26.51 mol

Tota number of moles = 17.58 mol + 26.51 mol

= 44.09 mol

Mole fraction of pentane ( $X_{1}$ ) = $\frac{moles}{\text{total moles}}$

= $\frac{17.58 mol}{44.09 mol}$

= 0.39

Mole fraction of hexane ( $X_{2}$ ) = $\frac{moles}{\text{total moles}}$

= $\frac{26.51 mol}{44.09 mol}$

= 0.60

So, we will calculate the vapor pressure of the solution as follows.

$P_{solution} = x_{1}P^{o}_{1} + x_{2}P^{o}_{2}$

where, $x_{1}$ = mole fraction of solution 1

$P^{o}_{1}$ = partial pressure of pure solvent of solution 1

$x_{2}$ = mole fraction of solution 2

$P^{o}_{2}$ = partial pressure of pure solvent of solution 2

$P_{solution} = x_{1}P^{o}_{1} + x_{2}P^{o}_{2}$

= $0.39 \times 511 + 0.60 \times 150$

= (199.29 + 90) torr

= 289.29 torr

Therefore, vapor pressure of this solution is 289.29 torr.

(b) Mole fraction of pentane in the vapor that is in equilibrium with this solution is calculated as follows.

= $\frac{\text{Partial pressure of pentane}}{\text{total pressure}}$

= $\frac{0.39}{289.29}$

= $1.34 \times 10^{-3}$

Hence, mole fraction of pentane in the vapor that is in equilibrium with this solution is $1.34 \times 10^{-3}$ .
