    Calculate the mass of a non-volatile solute (molar mass \[40\,g\,mo{{l}^{-\,1}}),\] which should be dissolved in 114 g octane to reduce its vapour pressure to 80%.

    A) 20 g     

    B) 10 g    

    C) 30 g                             

    D) 45 g

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [b]
    According to Raoul?s law, relative lowering of vapour pressure, \[\frac{p_{A}^{{}^\circ }-ps}{p_{A}^{{}^\circ }}={{\chi }_{B}}\]
    \[{{\chi }_{B}}=\frac{{{n}_{B}}}{{{n}_{B}}+{{n}_{A}}}=\frac{{{W}_{B}}/{{M}_{B}}}{\frac{{{W}_{B}}}{{{M}_{B}}}+\frac{{{W}_{A}}}{{{M}_{A}}}}\]
    Given, vapour pressure is reduced to 80 when non-volatile solute is dissolved in octane. It means
    If \[p_{A}^{{}^\circ }=1\,\text{atm}\]then \[{{p}_{S}}=0.8\,\text{atm};\] \[p_{A}^{{}^\circ }-{{p}_{S}}=0.2\,\text{atm};\] \[{{M}_{A}}({{C}_{8}}{{H}_{18}})=114\,g\,\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{-\,1}};\,\,{{W}_{A}}=114g;\]
    \[{{M}_{B}}=40g\,\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{-\,1}};\,\,{{W}_{B}}=?\]
    \[{{M}_{B}}=40g\,mo{{l}^{-1}};\,{{W}_{B}}=?\]
    On applying Eq. (i) and (ii), we get, \[\frac{0.2}{1}=\frac{{{W}_{B}}40}{\frac{{{W}_{B}}}{40}+\frac{114}{114}}=\frac{{{W}_{B}}/40}{\frac{{{W}_{B}}}{40}+1}\]
    \[0.2=\frac{{{W}_{B}}}{{{W}_{B}}+40}\]
    \[0.2{{W}_{B}}+8={{W}_{B}}\]
    \[{{W}_{B}}=10g\]
