Vapour pressure of solutions
« on: May 02, 2006, 10:13:49 PM »
Chlorobenzene, C6H5Cl, and bromobenzene, C6H5Br, form essentially ideal solutions in all proportions. At 90°C, the equilibrium pressure of chlorobenzene is 267mmHg and that of bromobenzene is 128mmHg. Calculate the equilibrium vapour pressure above a 31.4% (w/w) solution of chlorobenzene in bromobenzene at a temperature of 90°C.


A) 213 mmHg

B) 182 mmHg

C) 223 mmHg

D) 17165 mmHg

E) 22335 mmHg
 
Need to use this Raoult's law formula:

P(solution) = x solvent . P solvent

I got B.. need to check with someone. Thanks

OK with me.

Use raoults law? I would have used the clapeyron equation

I think...

I will use Antoine's Equation to calculate the saturated vapour pressure, then use Raoult's Law to obtain the vapour pressure.

Why do you want to calculate something that is already given in the question?
