The vapor pressure of ethanol (C2H5OH) at 20C is 44 mmHg, and the vapor pressure of methanol
Question:
The vapor pressure of ethanol (C2H5OH) at 20°C is 44 mmHg, and the vapor pressure of methanol (CH3OH) at the same temperature is 94 mmHg. A mixture of 30.0 g of methanol and 45.0 g of ethanol is prepared (and can be assumed to behave as an ideal solution).
(a) Calculate the vapor pressure of methanol and ethanol above this solution at 20°C.
(b) Calculate the mole fraction of methanol and ethanol in the vapor above this solution at 20°C.
(c) Suggest a method for separating the two components of the solution.
