An ideal-dilute solution of chloroform and ethanol with a mole fraction of ethanol in the liquid phase Xeth = 0.9900 has a total vapour pressure of  p = 17795 Torr. The vapour pressure of pure ethanol at this temperature is p*eth = 172.76Torr. (a) Use Raoult's law to calculate the partial pressure of ethanol in the vapour phase. (b) Hence determine the partial pressure of chloroform in the vapour phase . (c) Also calculate the mole fractions of chloroform and ethanol in the vapour phase. (d) Calculate the Henry's law constant for chloroform, Kchl at this temperature.
