Chapter 5, Problem 5.26E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using Raoult’s law, when sulfuric acid is added to water, so much energy is released as heat, the deviation in the solution has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Raoult’s law:

The vapor pressure of the solution is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure solvent multiplied by its mole fraction.

    ${\text{P}}_{\text{Solution}}\text{=}{\text{P}}_{{}_{\text{Solvent}}}^{\text{o}}{\text{X}}_{\text{Solvent}}$
