To calculate the total vapor pressure of the aerosol mixture, we will use Raoult's Law and Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures. This involves determining the mole fractions of each component and then summing their partial pressures.

  1. Calculate the moles of each component.

    Assume a total mass of 100 g100 \text{ g} for the mixture.
    Mass of Propellant I (CCl3F\text{CCl}_3\text{F}) = 20% of 100 g=20 g20\% \text{ of } 100 \text{ g} = 20 \text{ g}
    Mass of Propellant II (CCl2F2\text{CCl}_2\text{F}_2) = 80% of 100 g=80 g80\% \text{ of } 100 \text{ g} = 80 \text{ g}

    Using the given molar masses:
    For Propellant I (CCl3F\text{CCl}_3\text{F}, M1=137.4 g/molM_1 = 137.4 \text{ g/mol}):

    n1=20 g137.4 g/mol=0.14556 moln_1 = \frac{20 \text{ g}}{137.4 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.14556 \text{ mol}

    For Propellant II (CCl2F2\text{CCl}_2\text{F}_2, M2=120.9 g/molM_2 = 120.9 \text{ g/mol}):

    n2=80 g120.9 g/mol=0.66170 moln_2 = \frac{80 \text{ g}}{120.9 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.66170 \text{ mol}
  2. Calculate the total moles and mole fraction (XX) of each component.

    ntotal=n1+n2=0.14556 mol+0.66170 mol=0.80726 moln_{total} = n_1 + n_2 = 0.14556 \text{ mol} + 0.66170 \text{ mol} = 0.80726 \text{ mol}

    Mole fraction of Propellant I:

    X1=n1ntotal=0.14556 mol0.80726 mol=0.18031X_1 = \frac{n_1}{n_{total}} = \frac{0.14556 \text{ mol}}{0.80726 \text{ mol}} = 0.18031

    Mole fraction of Propellant II:

    X2=n2ntotal=0.66170 mol0.80726 mol=0.81969X_2 = \frac{n_2}{n_{total}} = \frac{0.66170 \text{ mol}}{0.80726 \text{ mol}} = 0.81969
  3. Calculate the partial vapor pressure (PP) of each component using Raoult's Law (Pi=Xi⋅Pi∘P_i = X_i \cdot P_i^\circ).

    Given pure vapor pressures: P1∘=13.4 PsiaP_1^\circ = 13.4 \text{ Psia} and P2∘=84.9 PsiaP_2^\circ = 84.9 \text{ Psia}.
    Partial pressure of Propellant I:

    P1=X1×P1∘=0.18031×13.4 Psia=2.416 PsiaP_1 = X_1 \times P_1^\circ = 0.18031 \times 13.4 \text{ Psia} = 2.416 \text{ Psia}

    Partial pressure of Propellant II:

    P2=X2×P2∘=0.81969×84.9 Psia=69.582 PsiaP_2 = X_2 \times P_2^\circ = 0.81969 \times 84.9 \text{ Psia} = 69.582 \text{ Psia}
  4. Calculate the total vapor pressure (PtotalP_{total}) of the mixture using Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures.

    Ptotal=P1+P2=2.416 Psia+69.582 Psia=71.998 PsiaP_{total} = P_1 + P_2 = 2.416 \text{ Psia} + 69.582 \text{ Psia} = 71.998 \text{ Psia}

    Rounding to one decimal place:

    Ptotal=72.0 PsiaP_{total} = 72.0 \text{ Psia}

    The total vapor pressure of the aerosol mixture is 72.0 Psia\text{72.0 Psia}.
