- 2) Draw the isobaric phase diagram at 1 atm of the following two-component liquid system: water (Boiling point = 100°C) and nitric acid (Boiling point = 86°C), with the mass percentage of nitric acid on the x-axis. When the liquid mixture contains 68 % nitric acid, an azeotrope with a boiling point of 120.5°C, is formed. Use the sketch to describe under which conditions pure nitric acid can be obtained by means of isobaric distillation.arrow_forwardA solvent (molar mass = 98.2 g mol-¹) has a vapour pressure of 4930 Pa at 20 °C; at 50 °C this increases to 1.94 x 104 Pa. A mass of 12.8 g of an unknown solute is dissolved in 100.0 g of the solvent. Assume the solute has negligible vapour pressure. Estimate the normal boiling point of the solution.arrow_forwardCalculate the change in the molar Gibbs energy of an ideal gas when the pressure is increased isothermally from 500 kPa to 100.0 kPa at 500 K.arrow_forward
- The total vapour pressure of an ideal-dilute liquid mixture of acetone and chloroform with a mole fraction of acetone of 0.0500 is 45.08 kPa at 308 K. (a) Use Raou lt's law to determine the partial vapour pressure of acetone for the mixture, given that the vapour pressure of pure acetone is 46.26 kPa at 308 K. (b) Hence calculate the partial vapour pressure of chloroform for the mixture . (c) Determine the Henry's law constant of chloroform at this temperature.(d) The Henry's law constant is lower than the vapour pressureof pure chloroform at 308 K. What does this imply about the nature of the interactions between acetone and chloroform in the liquid mixture?arrow_forwardThe partial pressure of water vapour at 30.0 °C is 4.25 kPa.
