Question : 37 of 53
Marks: +1, -0
Vapour pressure of pure acetone and chloroform at 328 K are 741.8 mm Hg and 632.8 mm Hg respectively. Assuming that they form ideal solution over the entire range of composition, plot PtotalP_{\text{total}}, PchloroformP_{\text{chloroform}} and PacetoneP_{\text{acetone}} as a function of xacetonex_{\text{acetone}}. The experimental data observed for different compositions of mixtures is :
 100×xacetone100 \times x_{\text{acetone}}  0  11.8  23.4  36.0  50.8  58.2  64.5  72.1
 Pacetone/mm HgP_{\text{acetone}}/\mathrm{mm\,Hg}  0  54.9  110.1  202.4  322.7  405.9  454.1  521.1
 Pchloroform/mm HgP_{\text{chloroform}}/\mathrm{mm\,Hg}  632.8  548.1  469.4  359.7  257.7  193.6  161.2/td>  120.7
Plot this data also on the same graph paper. Indicate whether it has positive deviation or negative deviation from the ideal solution.
Solution:  
 xacetonex_{\text{acetone}}  0.0  0.118  0.234  0.360  0.508  0.582  0.645  0.721
 Pacetone/mm HgP_{\text{acetone}}/\mathrm{mm\,Hg}  0  54.9  110.1  202.4  322.7  405.9  454.1  521.1
 Pchloroform/mm HgP_{\text{chloroform}}/\mathrm{mm\,Hg}  632.8  548.1  469.4  359.7  257.7  193.6  161.2  120.7
PtotalP_{\text{total}} 632.8 603.0 579.5 562.1 580.4 599.5 615.3 641.8
As the plot for PtotalP_{\text{total}} dips downwards, hence the solution shows negative deviation from the ideal behaviour.
