When a certain amount of solid A is dissolved in 100 g of water at 25 °C to make a dilute solution, the vapour pressure of the solution is reduced to one-half of that of pure water. The vapour pressure of pure water is 23.76mmHg. The number of moles of solute A added is

Solution

We know that relative lowering in vapour pressure is given as

P0-PSPo=solutennSolute+solventn

P0-PSPS=solutensolventn

P0-P02P02=solutensolventn

soluten=solventn=10018=5.55 mol
