18 g of glucose (C6H12O6) is added to 178.2 g of water. The vapour pressure of water for this aqueous solution at 100oC is

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 759.00 Torr
  • B 7.60 Torr
  • C 76.00 Torr
  • D 752.40 Torr

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Moles of glucose =18180=0.1= {{18} \over {180}} = 0.1

Moles of water =178.218=9.9= {{178.2} \over {18}} = 9.9

Total moles =0.1+9.9=10= 0.1 + 9.9 = 10

PH2O={P_{{H_2}O}} = Mole fraction ×\times Total pressure

=9.910×760= {{9.9} \over {10}} \times 760

=752.4  = 752.4\,\, Torr
