Question

Vapour pressure of chloroform (CHCl3) and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) at 298 K are 200 mm Hg and 415 mm Hg respectively. Calculate:


A:Vapour pressure of the solution prepared by mixing 25.5 g of CHCl3 and 40 g of CH2Cl2 at 298 K.

B: Mole fractions of each component in vapour phase.

Solution

A:

Given:

Vapour pressure of pure CHCl3(P0CHCl3)=200 mm Hg,

Vapour presssure of pure CH2Cl2(P0CH2Cl2)=415 mm Hg,

Mass of CHCl3=25.5g and mass of CH2Cl2=40 g

Moles of compounds

Molar mass of CH2Cl2=12×1+1×2+35.5×2=85 g mol1

Molar mass of CHCl3=12×1+1×35.5×3=119.5 g mol1

Moles of CH2Cl2=massmolar mass
=40 g85 gmol1
=0.47 mol
Similarly,

Moles of CHCl3=25.5g119.5gmol1
=0.213 mol

Mole fraction of compounds

We know,

Mole fraction (x)=moles of one componenttotal moles of all the component
Total number of moles =0.47+0.213=0.683 mol

xCH2Cl2=0.47 mol0.683 mol=0.688

xCH2Cl2+xCHCl3=1 ...(i)

xCHCl3=1.000.688=0.312

Total pressure of mixture

We know,
Ptotal=PCHCl3+PCH2Cl2

And Pgas=P0gas×xgas

So, Ptotal=P0CHCl3×xCHCl3+P0CH2Cl2×xCH2Cl2

Ptotal=P0CHCl3×(1xCH2Cl2)+P0CH2Cl2×xCH2Cl2

from equation (i)

ptotal=p0CHCl3+(p0CH2Cl2p0CHCl3)xCH2Cl2

By putting the values, we get,
=200+(415200)×0.688

ptotal=200+147.92=347.92 mm Hg


Given:

From the first part,

Ptotal=347.92 mm Hg,

Mole fraction of CH2Cl2=0.688,

Mole fraction of CHCl3=0.312,

Vapour pressure of pure CHCl3(P0CHCl3)=200 mm Hg,

And vapour pressure of pure

CH2Cl2(P0CH2Cl2)=415 MM Hg,

Mole fraction in gas phase

We know,

Mole fraction in gas phase ygas=Pgas/Ptotal

From Raoult’s law, PCH2Cl2=P0CH2Cl2×xCH2Cl2

PCH2Cl2=415 MM Hg×0.688
=285.52 mm Hg

Similarly,

PCHCl3=0.312×200 mm Hg=62.4 MM Hg

So, YCH2Cl2=PCH2Cl2Ptotal=285.52 MM Hg347.92 mm Hg
=0.82

Similarly,

YCHCl3=62.4 mm Hg347.92 mm Hg=0.18
