vapor pressure - answer check
« on: February 09, 2008, 11:31:51 AM »
What would be the vapor pressure of water at 70 C above a solution made by dissolving 57.980 g of Nickel nitrate Ni(NO3)2 in 288.26 g of water? The vapor pressure of pure water at this temperature is 233.70 mmHg? Assume complete dissociation of solute.

I got 233.68 mmHg. Is this right?

No, it should be lower.

hmm ok well this is actually an online homework and I don't know, maybe I'm not entering the answer in correctly.  I tried it twice again  and  got 229.17 mmHg but it's still not correct apparently. What's wrong here?

mol fraction of Ni(NO3)2 = .0194

using Raoult's Law: PA = PA°XA

∆P = 233.70 mmHg x .0194 = 4.534 mmHg
PA = 233.70 - 4.534 = 229.17 mmHg

Isn't it dissociated?

Uh I copied it here wrong. I did it right on the paper though.
