The vapour pressure of pure water at 302K is 31.80mmHg. Find the lowering of vapour pressure, in mmHg, when 1.8g of glucose (molar mass 180) is dissolved in 36g of water (molar mass 18). Give the answer to three decimal places.
Numerical answer type, answer in mmHg, tolerance 0.001.
Answer: 0.158 mmHg
n2=1.8/180=0.0100 and n1=36/18=2.00. Δp=p0x2=31.80×0.0100/2.0100=0.1582mmHg.
