Question
A solution contains 17.83 grams of magnesium chloride and 811.7 grams of water. What is the vapor pressure (in torr) of this solution at 40.00°C? The vapor pressure of water at this temperature is 55.30 torr. You should use the experimental value of the van't Hoff factor for this calculation.
(4 significant figures)
Expert Solution
Step 1
Relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to mole fraction of solute.
Po = vapour pressure of pure solvent, water = 55.30 torr
P = vapour pressure of solution
i = van't Hoff factor
= 3 for MgCl2
