Answer to Question #161409 in General Chemistry for Katherine

Question

A nearly ideal solution is formed by mixing CH₃OH (P° = 88.7 torr) and CH₃CH₂OH (P° = 44.5 torr) at 20.°C. The densities of CH₃OH and CH₃CH₂OH are 0.7915 and 1.361 g/mL, respectively. How many mL of each must be combined to yield 100.0 mL of a solution with a vapor pressure of 59.3 torr?

Answer 1
