A solution contains \(5 0 ~ g\) of a non-electrolytic solute per \(1 0 0 g\) of water at \(2 5 ^{ \circ } C\). The vapor pressure of water is \(2 3 . 5 m m H g\) at this temperature. The molar mass of the solute is \(2 5 0 ~ g ~ m o l ^{-1}\). The vapor pressure of the solution at \(2 5 ^{ \circ } C\) will be

  1. A 20.6 mmHg
  2. B 22.67 mmHg
  3. C 24.00 mmHg
  4. D 19.60 mmHg
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 22.67 mmHg

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n_{H_2O} = \frac{100 \text{ g}}{18 \text{ g/mol}} = \frac{50}{9} \text{ mol}\) \(n_{solute} = \frac{50 \text{ g}}{250 \text{ g/mol}} = \frac{1}{5} \text{ mol}\) \(P_{solution} = \left(\frac{n_{H_2O}}{n_{H_2O} + n_{solute}}\right) \times P^0_{H_2O}\)…
