The vapor pressure of pure CCl4 (Mw=154 g/mol) and SnCl4 (Mw=170 g/mol) at 298 K are 114.9 and 238.3 kPa respectively. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate the total vapor pressure of a pure solution containing 10 g of CCl4 and 15 g of SnCl4.

Step 1
Calculate the mole fraction of each component in the solution: Mole fraction of CCl4 = (10g / 154g/mol) / [(10g / 154g/mol) + (15g / 170g/mol)] = 0.292 Mole fraction of SnCl4 = (15g / 170g/mol) / [(10g / 154g/mol) + (15g / 170g/mol)] = 0.708 Show more…

The mole fraction of CCl4 (g) in the vapor in equilibrium with a liquid mixture of CCl4 and SiCl4 is 0.3474. The vapor pressure of SiCl4 and CCl4 is 238.3 and 114.9 mm, respectively, at the same temperature. Calculate.

The vapour pressure, surface tension and density of CCl4 at 20oC are 90.06 Torr, 0.0268 N/m and 1.595 g/cm3, respectively. Calculate the lowest pressure needed in a closed vessel containing pure CCl4 vapour in order to condense a liquid CCl4 droplet nucleus of radius 1.35 x10^-8 m.

At 40 oC, the vapor pressure of pure carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is 0.293 atm and the vapor pressure of pure dichloroethane (C2H4Cl2) is 0.209 atm. A nearly ideal solution is prepared by mixing 30.0 g of CCl4 and 20.0 g of C2H4Cl2. What mixture of CCl4 and C2H4Cl2 (that is, how many grams of each assuming that the total mass of liquids mixed is 50 g) are necessary to create a solution in which the total pressure of gas is 0.275 atm at 40 oC?
