Determine the amount of urea (NH2CONH2) to be added in 1000 g of water to decrease its vapour pressure by 25%.
The correct answer is 1111
\(\frac{P^{o}-P_{S}}{P^{o}}=\frac{n}{N+n}=\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\Rightarrow\)4n = N+n
n=\(\frac{N}{3}\)=(\(\frac{1000}{18})\)x\(\frac{1}{3}\)
Therefore, the amount of urea is \(\frac{1000}{18\times 3}\)x60 = \(\frac{10000}{9}\)gm
\(\cong\) 1111.1 gram
\(\frac{P^0-P_s}{P_s}=\frac{n_{solute}}{n_{solvent}}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{x}{60}}{\frac{1000}{18}}=\frac{P^0-0.75P^0}{0.75P^0}\)
\(⇒x=\frac{10000}{9}=1111\ gm\)
So , the correct answer is 1111 gm
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.
For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.
The solutions can be classified into three types:
On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:
