4. A solution contains 100 g of toluene (92 g/mol) and 100 g of benzene (78 g/mol). At
20 °C the vapor pressure of pure benzene is 74.7 Torr and that of toluene is 22.3
Torr. Calculate the vapor pressure of the mixture at 20 °C and the composition of the
vapor in equilibrium with the solution. (Sol: P=50.6Torr. In the vapor Xtol=0.20 Torr)
5. When 1.0 g of urea CO(NH2)2 is dissolved in 200 g of solvent A, the freezing point of
A decreases by 0.250 °C. When 1.5 g of solute Y, which is a non-electrolyte, are
dissolved in 125 g of solvent A, the freezing point of A decreases by 0.200 °C.
Calculate the molecular weight of Y. (Sol: 180 g/mol)
6. A certain compound contains 54.54% carbon, 9.09 % hydrogen and 36.37% oxygen.
When 7.59 g of this compound are dissolved in 300 g of benzene, its freezing point
decreases by 1.47ºC (Kf = 5.12 K·kg/mol). Determine both the empirical and the
molecular formulas, and suggest (and name) four possible structural isomers. (Sol.:
C2H4O; C4H8O2)
