Answer» Solution :Applying Raoult.s law of dilute solution `(p^0 - p_s)/(p^0) = (n_2)/(n_1+n_2) = n_2/n_1 = (w_2// M_2)/(w_1//M_1)= w_2/M_2 xx M_1/w_1` SUBSTITUTING the values, we have `((1.013 - 1.004)"BAR")/(1.013 "bar") = (2g)/(M_2) xx (18 G "mol"^(-1))/(98 g)` `M_2 = (2xx 18)/(98) xx (1.013)/(0.009) g "mol"^(-1) =41.g "mol"^(-1)` |
