b) Suppose you had a solution of 6.84 g of sugar (sucrose, C:H2On) in 90.0 g of water. (1) Calculate the number of moles of sugar and water present. (H=1; C=12; 0=16) (i) Calculate the mole fraction of the water in the solution. (iii) At 100°C, the saturated vapour pressure of water at its boiling point is 101325 Pa. Calculate the vapour pressure of the solution at that temperature. (Remember to give your answer to a suitable number of significant figures.) (iv) Would the solution of sugar in water boil at this temperature, assuming the external pressure remains at 101325 Pa? Explain your answer.
