A solution of methyl acetate (C3HO) and water is boiling at 99.5 C. A sample of the vapor above the solution is cooled until it condenses. This condensed sample is analyzed, and turns out to be 10.% methyl acetate by mass. Calculate the percent by mass of methyl acetate in the boiling solution. Here's some data you may need: methyl acetate water 1% normal boiling point 57. C 100. C density 0.93 1.00 x10 g mL g mL vapor pressure at 99.5 C Be sure your answer has 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution and vapor above it are ideal. 2675. torr 746. torr A solution of methyl acetate (C3HO) and water is boiling at 99.5 C.
