Vapour pressures of chloroform \(\left( CHCl _3\right)\) and dichloromethane \(\left( CH _2 Cl _2\right)\) at 298 K are 200 mmHg and 415 mmHg , respectively. Calculate the vapor pressure of the solution prepared by mixing 0.2 mol of \(CHCl _3\) and 0.5 mol of \(CH _2 Cl _2\) at 298 K

  1. A 360.5 mmHg
  2. B 353.57 mmHg
  3. C 878.57 mmHg
  4. D 307.5 mmHg
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 353.57 mmHg

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n_{total} = 0.2 + 0.5 = 0.7 \text{ mol}\) \(P_{solution} = \left(\frac{0.2}{0.7}\right) \cdot 200 \text{ mmHg} + \left(\frac{0.5}{0.7}\right) \cdot 415 \text{ mmHg}\) \(P_{solution} = \frac{40}{0.7} + \frac{207.5}{0.7} = \frac{247.5}{0.7}\)…
