The vapour pressure of pure benzene at a certain temperature is $0.850 \ bar$. $A$ non-volatile,non-electrolyte solid weighing $0.5 \ g$ is added to $39.0 \ g$ of benzene (molar mass $78 \ g/mol$). The vapour pressure of the solution then is $0.845 \ bar$. What is the molecular mass of the solid substance?

  • A
    $58$
  • B
    $180$
  • C
    $170$
  • D
    $145$

The vapour pressure of a solvent decreases by $20 \ mm$ of $Hg$ when a non-volatile solute is added to the solvent. The mole fraction of the solute in the solution is $0.5$. What should be the mole fraction of the solvent for the decrease in the vapour pressure to be $10 \ mm$ of $Hg$?

$A$ solution containing $30 \, g$ of non-volatile solute in exactly $90 \, g$ water has a vapour pressure of $21.85 \, mm \, Hg$ at $25 \, ^oC$. Further $18 \, g$ of water is then added to the solution. The resulting solution has a vapour pressure of $22.15 \, mm \, Hg$ at $25 \, ^oC$. Calculate the molecular weight of the solute.
