The vapour pressure of pure \(\mathrm{CCl}_4\) (molar mass \(=154 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) ) and \(\mathrm{SnCl}_4\) (molar mass \(=170 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) ) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) are 115.0 and 238.0 torr respectively. Assuming ideal behaviour, calculate the total approximate vapour pressure in torr of a solution containing \(10 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CCl}_4\) and \(15 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{SnCl}_4\).

  1. A \(185.85\)
  2. B \(190.0\)
  3. C \(180.7\)
  4. D \(182.1\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(185.85\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, vapour pressure of pure \(\mathrm{CCl}_4\) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) \[ \left(p_{\mathrm{CCl}_4}^{\circ}\right)=115.0 \text { torr } \] Vapour pressure of pure \(\mathrm{SnCl}_4\) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)…
