A solution at 78 °C contains 40.0 g of ethanol (\( \mathrm{C_2H_5OH} \), \(M = 46.07\) g mol\(^{-1}\)) and 60.0 g of water (\(M = 18.02\) g mol\(^{-1}\)). The vapour pressures of pure ethanol and pure water at this temperature are 0.40 atm and 0.30 atm respectively. Assuming the solution behaves ideally, calculate (a) the mole fraction of ethanol in the liquid, (b) the total vapour pressure above the solution, and (c) the mole fraction of ethanol in the vapour phase.

Answer Options

A. x_E = 0.215; P_total = 0.329 atm; y_E = 0.267
Correct Answer B. x_E = 0.207; P_total = 0.321 atm; y_E = 0.258
C. x_E = 0.190; P_total = 0.312 atm; y_E = 0.240
D. x_E = 0.207; P_total = 0.300 atm; y_E = 0.230
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
x_E = 0.207; P_total = 0.321 atm; y_E = 0.258
