Q.

The vapour pressure of 30% (w/v) aqueous solution of glucose is ______ mm Hg at 25°C.

[Given: The density of 30% (w/v) aqueous solution of glucose is 1.2 g cm-3 and vapour pressure of pure water is 24 mm Hg. Molar mass of glucose is 180 g mol-1.]              [2023]


Ans.

(23)

P0-PsPs=nN                                        ...(i)

density of solution=Massvolume

Volume of solution=100 ml

Mass=120 g

weight of glucose=120×30100=36 g

weight of H2O=120-36=84 g

mole of glucose=36180=0.2 mole

mole of H2O=8418=4.6 mole

So, from eqn (i),

24-PsPs=0.24.67

24-Ps=0.0428 Ps

Ps=241.0428=23.015 mm of Hg23 mm of Hg
