6. Equilibrium and Mixtures
(5 pts) a. The vapor pressure of two pure solvents, A and B, at 30.0◦ C is 353 torr
and 241 torr, respectively. Assuming Raoult’s Law at all concentrations, what is
the total pressure of the gas in equilibrium with a liquid mixture of 80% A and
20% B?
Answer: S:
(5 pts) b. In addition to the properties provided in part (a), now suppose that the
Henry’s Law constant for A and B at 30.0◦ C is 175 torr and 165 torr, respec-
