2.19 A solution containing of non-volatile solute exactly in
of water has a vapour pressure of
at
Further,
of water is then added to the solution and the new vapour pressure becomes
at
Calculate
(ii) vapour pressure of water at 298 K.
In the previous part we have calculated the value of molar mass the Raoul's law equation.
We had :-
Putting M = 23 u in the above equation we get,
or
Thus vapour pressure of water = 3.53 kPa.
