The vapour pressure of an aqueous solution of sucrose


Asked by admin @ in Chemistry viewed by 491 People


The vapour pressure of an aqueous solution of sucrose at 373k is found to be 750mm hg. the molality at same temperature is

Answered by admin @




Given that  

pressure at 373 of solution is 750 mm Hg.  

Pressure of solvent means water at 373 K is 760 mmHg

According to the Raoult’s law;


Psoln = PH2O XH2O  

750 = 760 (XH2O)  

mole fraction; XH2O = 0.987  

mole fraction = moles of water / total number of moles (water + solute )



Here mass of water is 1.00 kg or 1000 g

Therefore;  


Number of moles = amount in g / molar mass

= 1000g  18.02 g/ mole=  55.6 moles H2O,  

And from mole frcation;

0.987 = 55.6 /(55.6 + x)  

x = moles glucose = 0.777 moles  


and  molality = moles solute / kg solvent, molality = 0.777 m
