The vapour pressure of pure water at 25°C is 23.62 mm Hg, What will be the vapour pressure of a solution of 1.5 g of urea in 50 g of water?

Give your answer up to two decimal places.

HARD
IMPORTANT

In an Ostwald-Walker experiment, dry air was first blown through a solution containing a certain amount of solute (M=278) in 150 g of water and then also through pure water. The loss in mass of water was found to be 0.0827 g, while the mass of water absorbed in sulphuric acid was 3.317 g. Calculate the amount of the solute.

Give your answer up to two decimal places without rounding-off.

HARD
IMPORTANT

The vapour pressure of a 0.01 m solution of a weak base BOH in water at 20°C is 17.536 mm. Calculate Kb for the base. Aqueous tension at 20°C=17.54 mm. (Give answer as Kb × 104 )

[Hint i= observed lowering in vapour pressure calculated lowering in vapour pressure =p-pobs. p0·nN=17.540-17.53617.54×0.011000/18,

Then apply i=1+x and Kb=0.01x21-x]
