Homework Statement
Component 1 and 2 form an ideal solution. The vapor pressure of pure component 1 is 13.3kPa at 298K, and the corresponding vapor pressure of component 2 is approximately zero. If the addition of 1.00 g of component 2 to 10.0g of component 1 reduces the total vapor pressure to 12.6 kPa, find the ratio of the molar mass of component 2 to that of component 1.
Homework Equations
x1 = p/p*
x1 = n1/(n1+n2)
n2=n1(1/x1-1)
The Attempt at a Solution
x1 = p/p* = 12.6/13.3 = 0.947
Mass of component 1 = m1
n1 = 10g/m1
x1 = n1/(n1+n2)
n1+n2= n1/x1
n2=n1(1/x1-1)
=10/m1(1/0.947 - 1) = 0.5597/m1
m2=1/(0.5597/m1) = m1/0.5597
m1/m2 = 0.5597
Can anybody tell me if this looks right? thank you
