Question: Two 1 - L beakers, A and B , each containing a different aqueous solution of mannitol ( a nonvolatile sugar with M W =

Two 1-L beakers, A and B, each containing a different aqueous solution of mannitol (a nonvolatile sugar with MW=182.17gmol) are placed together in a box, which is then sealed. The temperature remains constant at 20C. Initially, there is 740mL of solution in A and 200mL of solution in B. As the solutions stand in the sealed box, their volumes change slowly for a while. When they stop changing, beaker A contains 490mL and beaker B contains 450mL. It is then determined that the solution in A is 0.867M in mannitol and has a density of 1.05gmL-1.
(a) What is the molar concentration of mannitol in the solution in beaker B at the end?
M
(b) Calculate the concentration of mannitol in the solution in A at the start.
M
(c) Calculate the concentration of the mannitol in the solution in B at the start.
M
(d) The vapor pressure of pure water at 20C is 17.5 torr.
What is the pressure of water vapor in the box at the end, after the volumes have stopped changing:
torr
