The document provides calculations to determine the vapor pressure of a urea and water solution using Raoult's law and the molar mass of an organic polymer using osmotic pressure measurements. Specifically, it calculates that the vapor pressure of a solution containing 1.37 moles of urea and 11.77 moles of water is 37.96 mmHg using the molar fraction of water and vapor pressure of pure water. It then calculates the molar mass of a polymer in a 202 mL benzene solution to be 25,900 g/mol based on the osmotic pressure of 8.63 mmHg and amount of polymer present.

Given:

UREA : 82.4 g

60.06 g/mol

H2O: 212 ml

Temp. 35 degree celcius

Vapor pressure of pure solvent 42.18 mmhg

Formula:

Vapor pressure of solution = molar fraction of solvent X vapor pressure of pure solvent

Mole of Urea= 82.4 g X 1mol/ 60.06g = 1.37 mol

Mole of H2O= 212 ml X 1mol/18.016 ml = 11.77 mole

Molar fraction H2O= 11.77 mole/ 11.77 mole + 1.37 mole

Molar Fraction of H2O= 0.90

Raoult’s Law= 0.90 X 42.28 mmHg = 37.96 mmHg

Vapor pressure of solution = 37.96 mmHg

A 202 mL benzene solution containing 2.47g of an organic polymer has an


osmotic pressure of 8.63mmHg at 21 degree Celcius. Calculate the molar mass
of the polymer.

Given:

Benzene solution = 202ml

Organic polymer= 2.47 g

Temp= 21 degree celcius +273= 294 K

Osmotic pressure= 8.63 mmhg

Convert mmHG to atm= 8.63/760= 0.0114 atm

p = 8.63 /760=0.0114 atm  


T = 21 + 273 =294 K  

Osmotic pressure = CRT  

0.0114 = C x 0.08206 x 294  

C = molar concentration of the solution = 0.000473 M  

moles polymer = 0.000473 M x 0.202 L=0.0000955  moles

molar mass = 2.47 g / 0.0000955 mol=2.59 x 10^4 g/mol
