The total vapour pressure of an ideal-dilute liquid mixture of acetone and chloroform with a mole fraction of acetone of 0.0500 is 45.08 kPa at 308 K. (a) Use Raou lt's law to determine the partial vapour pressure of acetone for the mixture, given that the vapour pressure of pure acetone is 46.26 kPa at 308 K. (b) Hence calculate the partial vapour pressure of chloroform for the mixture . (c) Determine the Henry's law constant of chloroform at this temperature.(d) The Henry's law constant is lower than the vapour pressureof pure chloroform at 308 K. What does this imply about the nature of the interactions between acetone and chloroform in the liquid mixture?
