1) b (solution) = 2,20 m = 2,2 mol/kg ...

If we use 1000 g of water to make solution:

m (H₂O) = 1000 g : 1000 g/kg = 1 kg.

n (sucrose - C₁₂O₂₂O₁₁) = b (solution) · m (H₂O).

n (C₁₂O₂₂O₁₁) = 2,2 mol/kg · 1 kg.

n (C₁₂O₂₂O₁₁) = 2,2 mol.

n (H₂O) = 1000 g : 18 g/mol.

n (H₂O) = 55,55 mol.

Mole fraktion of solvent = 55,55 mol : (55,55 mol + 2,2 mol) = 0,962.

Raoult's Law: p (solution) = mole fraction of solvent · p (solvent).

p (solution) = 0,962 · 17,54 torr = 16,87 torr.

Δp = 17,54 torr - 16,87 torr = 0,67 torr.

2) b (solution) = 2,20 m = 2,2 mol/kg ...

If we use 1000 g of water to make solution:

m (H₂O) = 1000 g : 1000 g/kg = 1 kg.

n (AlCl₃) = b (solution) · m (H₂O).

n (AlCl₃) = 2,2 mol/kg · 1 kg.

n (AlCl₃) = 2,2 mol.

n (H₂O) = 1000 g : 18 g/mol.

n (H₂O) = 55,55 mol.

i (AlCl₃) = 4; Van 't Hoff factor. Because dissociate on one cation and three anions. Mole fraktion of solvent = 55,55 mol : (55,55 mol + 2,2 mol · 4) = 0,863.

Raoult's Law: p (solution) = mole fraction of solvent · p (solvent)

p (solution) = 0,863 · 17,54 torr = 15,16 torr.

Δp = 17,54 torr - 15,16 torr = 1,38 torr.
