Question

A solution of methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) and ethanol (CH3CH2OH) that is 10.% methylene chloride by mass is boiling at 75°C. The vapor is collected and cooled until it condenses to form a new solution.

Calculate the percent by mass of methylene chloride in the new solution. Here's some data you may need:

  normal boiling point density vapor pressure at 
75°C
methylene chloride
40.°C
1.3g/mL
2263.torr
ethanol
78.°C
0.79g/mL
669.torr

Be sure your answer has 2 significant digits.

 

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