Question

A solution of acetic acid

CH3COOH

 and water is boiling at 

100.4°C

. A sample of the vapor above the solution is cooled until it condenses. This condensed sample is analyzed, and turns out to be 

10.%

 acetic acid by mass.

 

Calculate the percent by mass of acetic acid in the boiling solution. Here's some data you may need:

  normal boiling point density vapor pressure at
100.4°C
acetic acid
118.°C
1.1gmL
538.torr
water
100.°C
1.00gmL
771.torr

Be sure your answer has 2 significant digits.

Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution and vapor above it are ideal.
