Question 37

Vapour pressure of pure acetone and chloroform at 328 K are 741.8 mm Hg and 632.8 mm Hg respectively. Assuming that they form ideal solution over the entire range of composition, plot ptotal' pchloroform' and pacetoneas a function of xacetone. The experimental data observed for different compositions of mixture is.

100 ×xacetone

0 11.8 23.4 36.0 50.8 58.2 64.5 72.1

pacetone /mm Hg

0 54.9 110.1 202.4 322.7 405.9 454.1 521.1

pchloroform/mm Hg

632.8 548.1 469.4 359.7 257.7 193.6 161.2 120.7

 

Answer

From the question, we have the following data

100 ×xacetone

0 11.8 23.4 36.0 50.8 58.2 64.5 72.1

pacetone /mm Hg

0 54.9 110.1 202.4 322.7 405.9 454.1 521.1


pchloroform/mm Hg

632.8 548.1 469.4 359.7 257.7 193.6 161.2 120.7

ptotal(mm Hg)

632.8 603.0 579.5 562.1 580.4 599.5 615.3 641.8

 

It can be observed from the graph that the plot for the ptotalof the solution curves downwards. Therefore, the solution shows negative deviation from the ideal behaviour.
