Aim :
Learning Outcomes :
2. apply Raoult’s law to vapour pressures of miscible liquids that behave ideally.
3. apply Dalton’s law of partial pressure to determine the total vapour pressure of an
ideal solution and also its vapour composition.
Underlying Principles
Differentiation
Questions in the student notes are designed to enable all students to complete the activity.
The pop-up answers are provided for the students to view when they have considered their
responses. Worksheet questions include questions that require recall, understanding and
application of the new concepts learned.
2. Ideal solutions
2.1 a. The forces between the molecules in the mixture of pentane and hexane are
the same as the intermolecular forces which exist in the two separate
components.
b. B
3. Raoult’s Law
3.1 a. XA + XB = 1
XB = 1 – XA
= 1 – 0.20 = 0.80
b. PA = XA PoA
= 0.20 (1.40 x 104)
= 2.80 x 104 Pa
PB = XB Po B
= 0.80 (2.00 x 104)
= 1.60 x 104 Pa
c. PT = PA + PA
= (2.80 x 104 ) + (1.60 x 104)
= 4.40 x 104 Pa
1.50
Mole fraction of hexane, Xhexane = = 0.75
2.00
Phexane = Xhexane Pohexane
= 0.75(1.60 x 104)
= 1.20 x 104 Pa
b. PT = Ppentane + Phexane
= (1.41 x 104 Pa ) + (1.20 x 104 Pa)
= 2.61 x 104 Pa
