Q. Vapour pressure of water is 360 mm Hg, how much urea should be added to 200 mL water to reduce its vapour pressure by 0.5 %? (Molecular wt. of urea = 60)
Dear student ,
P0 = 360 mmHg and Ps = 99.5 % of 360 = 358.2 mm Hg
by Raoult's law ; P0 - Ps / Ps = n /N or w M / W m
360 - 358.2 / 358.2 = w 18 / 200 60 ( as density of water = 1 gm /ml )
w = 3.33 gm
Regards
