41.3-gram sample of a solution of naphthalene, C10H8(s), in benzene, C6H6(l ), has a vapor pressure at 20.0°C of 63.9 Torr. The vapor pressure of pure benzene at 20.0°C is 75.0 Torr. Assuming that naphthalene has a negligible vapor pressure over the solution, use the vapor pressure–lowering expression given by  ΔP1 = x2 P1° or  ( 1 – x 1 ) P 1° to calculate the mole fraction of naphthalene and the number of grams of naphthalene in the solution.

Question

A 41.3-gram sample of a solution of naphthalene, C10H8(s), in benzene, C6H6(l ), has a vapor pressure at 20.0°C
of 63.9 Torr. The vapor pressure of pure benzene at 20.0°C is 75.0 Torr. Assuming that naphthalene has a negligible vapor pressure over the solution, use the vapor pressure–lowering expression given by 

ΔP1 = x2 P1° or 

( 1 – x 1 ) P 1°

to calculate the mole fraction of naphthalene and the number of grams of naphthalene in the solution.
