50 g acetone (CH;COCH3) and 50 g methanol (CH3OH) are mixed to obtain a 100 g liquid solution at 25°C. Vapor pressures of acetone and methanol at 25°C are 271 mmHg and 143 mmHg, respectively. Assuming ideal mixing and evaporation behavior, calculate the followings: (a) Mole fractions of acetone and methanol in the solution. (b) Contribution of acetone and methanol to the total vapor pressure at 25°C. (c) The total vapor pressure at 25°C.

Question
5) 50 g acetone (CH3COCH3) and 50 g methanol (CH;OH) are mixed to obtain a 100 g liquid
solution at 25°C. Vapor pressures of acetone and methanol at 25°C are 271 mmHg and 143
mmHg, respectively. Assuming ideal mixing and evaporation behavior, calculate the followings:
(a) Mole fractions of acetone and methanol in the solution.
(b) Contribution of acetone and methanol to the total vapor pressure at 25°C.
(c) The total vapor pressure at 25°C.
(d) Composition of the vapor in terms of the mole fractions of acetone and methanol.
(e) Given that the measured vapor pressure of this mixture is 161 mmHg, comment on your
result in (d), what is the reason of the discrepancy?
(CH3COCH3: 58 g/mol, CH;OH: 32 g/mol)
