The vapour pressures of chloroform, (\(\text{CHCl}_3\)) and dichloromethane (\(\text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2\)) at 298 K are 400 mm Hg and 615 mm Hg,respectively. What is the mole fraction of \(\text{CHCl}_3\) in vapour phase in solution prepared by mixing 30 g of \(\text{CHCl}_3\) and 45 g of \(\text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2\) ?

  1. A 0.76
  2. B 0.23
  3. C 0.82
  4. D 0.18
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.23

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n_{\text{CHCl}_3} = \frac{30 \text{ g}}{119.38 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.2513 \text{ mol}\) \(n_{\text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2} = \frac{45 \text{ g}}{84.93 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.5309 \text{ mol}\)…
