Q 1 :    

The correct option for the value of vapour pressure of a solution at 45° C with benzene to octane in molar ratio 3 : 2 is

[At 45° C vapour pressure of benzene is 280 mm Hg and that of octane is 420 mm Hg. Assume ideal gas.]             [2021]

  • 350 mm of Hg

     

  • 160 mm of Hg

     

  • 168 mm of Hg

     

  • 336 mm of Hg

     

(4)

Ptotal=pbenzenexbenzene+poctanexoctane

           =280×35+420×25=168+168

            =336 mm of Hg



Q 2 :    

In water saturated air, the mole fraction of water vapour is 0.02. If the total pressure of the saturated air is 1.2 atm, the partial pressure of dry air is          [2019]

  • 1.18 atm

     

  • 1.76 atm

     

  • 1.176 atm

     

  • 0.98 atm

     

(3)

pwater vapour=xwater vapour×Ptotal

                      =0.02×1.2=0.024 atm

Ptotal=pwater vapour+pdry air

1.2=0.024+pdry air

pdry air=1.2-0.024=1.176 atm
