The vapour pressure of water is `12.3 kPa` at `300 K`. Calculate vapour pressure of `1` molal solution of a solute in it.

Answer» Correct Answer - `P_(s)=12.08 kPa`
`p^(@)=12.3kPa,p_(S)=?`
`M=1(1 mol e` of solute is dissolved in `1 L` of solution `)`
Molarity of water `=(1000)/(18)=55.56`
`(` or number of moles of water `=55.56)`
`(p^(@)-p_(S))/(p^(@))=CHMi_(2)=(n_(2))/(n_(1)+n_(2))=(n_(2))/(n_(1))(` for dilute solution `)`
`(12.3-p_(S))/(12.3)=(1)/(55.56)`
`12.30p_(S)=(12.3)/(55.56)=0.2213`
`p_(S)=12.3-0.2213=12.078~~12.08kPa`

Heptane and octane form an ideal solution. At `373 K`, the vapour pressure of the two liquids are `105.0` kPa and `46.0` kPa, respectively. What will be the vapour pressure, of the mixture of `25 g` of heptane and `35 g ` of octane ?

Answer» Correct Answer - `73.43kPa`
`p_(hepten e)^(@)=105.2kPa,p_(" octane")^(@)=46.28kPa`
`Mw` of heptane `(C_(7)H_(16))=100`
`Mw` of octane `(C_(8)H_(18))=114`
Moles of heptane `=(26)/(100)=0.26`
Moles of octane `=(35)/(114)=0.31`
`CHMi_(hepta n e)=(0.26)/(0.26+0.1)=0.456`
` CHMi_(octa n e)=1-0.456=0.544`
`p_(hep ta n e)=p_(hepta n e)^(@)xxCHMi_(hep t an e)`
`=105.2xx0.456=47.97kPa`
`p_(oc t an e)=p_(ocatn e)^(@)xxCHMi_(octa n e)`
`=46.8kPaxx0.544=25.46kPa`
`p_(t otal)=47.97+25.46=73.43kPa`

why is water alone not very effective for removing dirt from clothes?

Answer»

Water has "surface tension", a tendency for water molecules on the surface of water to cling together. This creates a film that resists penetration. Soap molecules disrupt the adhesion of water molecules to each other, and so lessens the strength of that film. The water therefore comes in closer contact with other substances, which accelerates the process by which those substances dissolve into water. Water really is an excellent solvent; it dissolves lots and lots of things. Soap merely enhances this process.
