Integrating Computers into the First-Year Chemistry Laboratory: Application of Raoult's Law to a Two-Component System

Abstract
First-year chemistry students are introduced to a spreadsheet program to calculate the boiling points of a two-component solution containing a volatile solute. The boiling points are predicted by combining the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and Raoult's law. A simple experimental setup is used to measure the boiling points of solutions of varying compositions. A comparison is made between the theoretically predicted and experimentally measured boiling points.
