For water, the solid–liquid boundary has a negative slope because

The vapor pressure of 2-propanol is 50.00 kPa at 338.8 ℃, but it fell to 49.62 kPa when 8.69 g of a non-volatile organic compound was dissolved in 250 g of 2-propanol. What is the mole fraction of the compound?

 Consider a temperature–composition diagram of a binary mixture of two liquids. In this diagram a particular point lies between the vapour composition line and the line representing the boiling temperature of the liquid (the liquid line). On the plot, the (horizontal) distance from the point to the liquid line is 11 mm and that from the point to the vapor line is 19 mm. For the system represented by this point, what is the ratio of the total amount (in moles) in the liquid to the total amount in the vapor?

Consider a temperature – composition phase diagram for a binary system which exhibits a maximum in the boiling point for a solution (azeotrope) of a given composition. A maximum in the phase diagram may be observed when

It is found that 2.20 g of a certain polymer dissolved in enough water to make 300 mL of solution has an osmotic pressure of 7.45 torr at 20 0C. What is the molecular mass of the polymer?
