The Henry's law constant for a solution ...

The Henry's law constant for a solution of acetone in chloroform is 0.2 bar when the solution is at 308 K. Calculate the value of vapour pressure of acetone when its mole fraction is 0.14.

Text Solution

To solve the problem, we will use Henry's Law, which states that the partial pressure of a solute in a solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction in that solution. The formula for Henry's Law is given by: \[ P_2 = k_H \cdot x_2 \] Where: - \( P_2 \) = partial pressure of the solute (acetone in this case) - \( k_H \) = Henry's law constant - \( x_2 \) = mole fraction of the solute ...
