JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2006 - No. 30)

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
759.00 Torr
7.60 Torr
76.00 Torr
752.40 Torr

Explanation

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

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

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

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

$$ = {{9.9} \over {10}} \times 760$$

$$ = 752.4\,\,$$ Torr
