The vapour pressure of ethanol and methanol are 44.5 and 88.7 mm Hg respectively. An ideal solution is formed at the same temperature by mixing 60 g of ethanol with 40 g of methanol. Calculate the total vapour pressure of the solution and the mole fraction of methanol in the vapour.

An organic compound C_xH_2yO_y was burnt with twice the amount of oxygen needed for complete combustion of CO₂ and H₂O. The hot gases when cooled to 0^oC and 1 atm pressure, measured 2.24 litres. The water collected during cooling weighed 0.9 g. The vapour pressure of pure water at 20^oC is 17.5 mm Hg and is lowered by 0.104 mm when 50 g of the organic compound are dissolved in 1000 g of water. Give the molecular formula of the organic compound.

The vapour pressure of pure benzene is 639.7 mm of mercury and the vapour of a solution of a solute in benzene at the same temperature is 631.9 mm of mercury. Calculate this molality of the solution.
