Chapter 14 of the book 'Physical Chemistry. G. W. Castellan, second edition, 1998' and
Chapter 7 of the book 'Physical Chemistry. R. Chang, third edition, 2000.'
1. A mixture of two liquids A and B shows ideal behavior. At 84 ºC, the total pressure of
The vapor of a solution containing 1.2 moles of A and 2.3 moles of B arrives at 331 mmHg. When adding
Another mole of B in the solution, the vapor pressure increases to 347 mmHg. Calculate the pressures of
pure vapor of A and B at 84 ºC.
2. Two glasses, 1 and 2, are placed, containing 50 mL of 0.1 M urea and 50 mL of 0.2 M urea,
respectively, under a hermetically sealed bell jar at 298 K. Calculate the molar fraction of
urea in solutions at equilibrium. Assume ideal behavior. (Suggestion: apply the law)
Raoult noted that, at equilibrium, the molar fraction of urea is the same in both solutions.
3. Liquids A and B form an ideal solution. At a specific temperature, the vapor pressure
The vapor pressure of pure A is 200 mmHg while that of pure B is 75 mmHg. If the vapor over the mixture
consists of 50% in moles of A.
a) What is the percentage of A in the liquid?
b) What is the percentage of B in the liquid?
4. At - 31.2 ºC we have the following data:
Compound Propane n-butane
Vapor pressure (mmHg) 1200 200
a) Calculate the mole fraction of propane in the liquid mixture that boils at -31.2 ºC with a
pressure of 760 mmHg
b) Calculate the mole fraction of propane in the vapor in equilibrium with the liquid in a).
5. Fish breathe dissolved air in the water through their gills. Assuming that the
partial pressures of oxygen and nitrogen in the air are 0.2 atm and 0.8 atm,
respectively, calculate the molar fractions of oxygen and nitrogen in water at 298.15 K.
6. Liquids A (molecular weight of 100 g/mol) and B (molecular weight of 110 g/mol) form a
Ideal solution. At 55 ºC, A has a vapor pressure of 95 mmHg and B has a vapor pressure of 42 mmHg. It

c) Calculate the molar fraction of each component of the solution.
d) Calculate the partial pressures of A and B over the solution at 55 ºC
e) Assume that part of the steam described in b) condenses into liquid. Calculate the
mole fraction of each component in this liquid and the vapor pressure of each
component about the liquid at 55 ºC.
At 85 ºC, the vapor pressure of A rises to 566 torr and that of B to 250 torr. Calculate the
composition of a mixture of A and B that boils at 85 ºC when the pressure is 0.60 atm. Calculate
also the composition of the vapor mixture. Assume ideal behavior
8. Liquids A and B form an ideal solution at a certain temperature. The vapor pressures of A
Pure A and B rise to 450 torr and 732 torr, respectively, at that temperature.
a) a sample of the vapor from the solution is condensed. Since the original sample contains 3.3
Moles of A and 8.7 moles of B, calculate the composition of the condensate in molar fractions.
b) suggest a method to measure the partial pressures of A and B at equilibrium.
