A solution is made by mixing 50 g of acetic acid (molar mass = 60 g/mol, pure vapor pressure = 0.5 atm) with 150 g of water (molar mass = 18 g/mol, pure vapor pressure = 0.03 atm). Calculate the total vapor pressure of the solution.
💡 Hint: Think through the molar relationships and apply the mole fraction into the formula.
Discuss how the addition of a solute affects the vapor pressure of the solvent in an ideal solution. Provide an example.
💡 Hint: Consider both solute and solvent contributions in your description.
