The vapour pressure of two miscible liqu...

The vapour pressure of two miscible liquids (A) and (B) are `300mm` of `Hg` respectively. In a flask 10 mole of (A) is mixed with 12 mole of (B).However as soon as (B) is added, (A) starts polymerising into a completely insoluble solid. The polymerisation follows first-order kinetics. After 100 minute, `0.525` mole of a solute is dissolved which arrests the polymerisation completely. The final vapour pressure of the solution is 400 mm of Hg. Estimate the rate constant of the polymerisation reaction. Assume negligible volume change on mixing and polymerisation adn ideal behavoiour for the final solution.

Let no. of moles of A left after 100 minutes =x
Total numbher of moles after 100 minutes `=x+12+0.525=x+12.525`
`X_(A)=(x)/(x+12.525)`
`X_(B)=(12)/(x+12.525)`
`P_("total")=X_(A)P_(A)^(@)+X_(A)P_(B)^(0)`
`rArr =(x)/(x+12.525)xx300+(12)/(x12.525)xx500`
`=(6000+300xxx)/(x+12.525)`
On solving `x=9.90` mol
`K=(2.303)/(100) "log" (10)/(9.9)=1.005 xx10^(-4) min^(-1)`
