    Need help with chem 2. Hopefully someone has an idea...

    Calculate the vapor pressure (in torr) at 310 K in a solution prepared by dissolving 23.8 g of the non-volatile non-electrolyte sucrose in 126 g of water. The vapor pressure of water at 310 K is 47.08 torr.

    Thanks.

    If you want to help chemistry you need to dump the oft-injured cancer. It's hard to focus when you have a whining petulant child clouding the future of your organization.

    P = X solvent * P solvent
    X solvent = moles of solvent/total moles
    Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol
    Moles of solvent (water) = 126/18 = 7 moles

    Molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol
    Moles of solute (sucrose) = 23.8g/342.3 = .06953

    Total moles = 7.06953 moles

    X solvent = moles of water/total moles = 7 mol/7.06952 mol = .990166

    P = X solvent * P solvent = .990166 * (47.08 torr) = 46.617 ~ 46.6 torr (3 sig figs)

    Hope that's right. Just had a test over it along with other stuff.

    Thanks a bunch! I accidentally used the moles of sucrose instead of water... Dumb.

    Well, if you use moles of sucrose, you can subtract its torr from the water torr and still get the answer.

    yeah but the solenoids of the thearcheia won't be viable :eek: :eek:
