Calculate the mass of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) that must be added to 1.00 kg of ethanol (C2H5OH) to reduce its vapor pressure by 12.0 torr at 35∘C. The vapor pressure of pure ethanol at 35∘C is 1.00×102 torr.

Answer:

183.7 g of ethylene glycol

Explanation:

This a case of colligative property, about vapour pressure lowering.

ΔPv = P° . Xst

ΔPv = 12 Torr

P° = Vapour pressure of pure solvent → 100 Torr

12  Torr = 100 Torr . Xst

12 Torr / 100 Torr = 0.12 → Xst

Xst is mole fraction for solute which means moles of solute / Total moles and, the total moles are the sum of moles of solvent + moles of solute.

We can make this equation:

Moles of solute / (Moles of solute + Moles of solvent) = 0.12

We don't know the moles of solute, but we do know the moles of solvent by the mass.

Mass / Molar mass = Mol

1000 g / 46 g/m = 21.7 moles

Moles of solute / Moles of solute + 21.7 moles = 0.12

Moles of solute = 0.12 ( Moles of solute + 21.7 moles)

Moles of solute - 0.12 moles of solute = 2.60  moles

0.88 moles of solute = 2.60 moles

Moles of solute = 2.60 moles / 0.88 → 2.96 moles of solute

Mol . molar mass = Mass

2.96 m  .  62g/m = 183.7 g

The mass of ethylene glycol is 184 grams.

Based on the given information,

• The vapor pressure(Vp) of pure ethanol is 102 torr.

• The vapor pressure or the final pressure (Vpf) after reducing it by 12 torr is (102 - 12) = 90 torr.

• It is known that the molar mass of ethanol is 45 g/mol, and the molar mass of ethylene glycol is 62 g/mol.  

• The mass of ethanol given is 1 kg or 1000 grams.  

Now by using formula,

Vp = Vpf × Xa

Here, Vp is the vapor pressure of pure solvent, Vpf is the vapor pressure of the solution, and Xa is the mole fraction of solvent.

Now putting the values we get,

[tex]90 torr = 102 torr * Xa\\Xa = \frac{90 torr }{102 torr} \\Xa = 0.88[/tex]

Now the number of moles of ethanol can be calculated by using the formula,

Moles = Given mass of ethanol/Molar mass of ethanol

[tex]Moles of ethanol = \frac{1000 g}{46 g/mol} \\Moles of ethanol = 21.74 moles[/tex]

The mole fraction can be calculated as,

[tex]Xa =\frac{na}{na+nb}[/tex]

Here na is the moles of ethanol, and nb is the moles of ethylene glycol.

Now putting the values we get,

[tex]0.88 = \frac{21.74 moles}{21.74 moles + nb} \\0.88 (21.74 moles + nb) = 21.74 moles\\19.13 moles + 0.88 nb = 21.74 moles\\0.88 nb = 2.61 moles\\nb = 2.97 moles[/tex]

Now the mass of ethylene glycol can be determined as,

nb = given mass of ethylene glycol/Molar mass of ethylene glycol

[tex]2.97 moles = \frac{Mass}{62 g/mol} \\Mass = 184 grams[/tex]

Thus, the mass of ethylene glycol is 184 grams.
