Answer

In the container liquid ethanol present $=0.44\text{ g}$

Work Step by Step

When both the liquid and vapor phases exist in equilibrium ,the pressure exerted by the pure compound is called vapor pressure . The vapor of ethanol $=349mmHg$ $=349mmHg\times1atm/760mmHg$ $=0.4592$ Temperature $T=60^{\circ}C=(273+60)K=333K$ Volume $V=400mL=0.400L$ Assuming ethanol vapor as an ideal gas, $PV=nRT$ $n=PV/RT=(0.4592atm\times0.400L)/0.08206LatmK^-$$^1mol^-$$^1333K$ $=6.722\times10^-$$^1mol$ Mole of ethanol present $=0.75g/46.07g$ $mole^-$$^1=0.01628moles$ So, in the container liquid ethanol present $=(0.06128-0.00722)mole\times46.07g/mole$ $=0.44g$
