At 300 K, the vapour pressure of a solution containing 1 mole of n -hexane and 3 moles of n -heptane is 550 mm of Hg. At the same temperature, if one more mole of n -heptane is added to this solution, the vapour pressure of the solution increases by 10 mm of Hg. What is the vapour pressure in mmHg of n - heptane in its pure state______?

Solution

Ptotal=Phexane.Xhexane+Pheptane.Xheptane

550=Phexane×14+Pheptane×34     ..(i)

After mixing 1 mole n-heptane

560=Phexane×15+Pheptane×45     .....(ii)

On solving eq. (i) and (ii)

Pheptane=600mm of Hg
