This is an example of a homogenous mixture. QUESTION: If X and Y instead form a HETEROGEOUS MIXTURE, what would be the total vapor pressure above this mixture at 20 degrees C?
Solution
The key equation to use is Raoult\'s Law
Psolution = P°x x + P°y y
b]
Partial pressure in mm of Hg due to x over the solution at 200C= P°x x= 40mm of Hg*0.4=16 mm of Hg
c]
Psolution = P°x x + P°y y
Psolution = 40mm of Hg*0.4+70mm of Hg*0.6=16 mm of Hg+42 mm of Hg= 58 mm of Hg
Psolution = 58 mm of Hg
