The vapour pressure of a solution of a non-volatile electrolyte B in a solvent A is 95% of the vapour pressure of the solvent at the same temperature. If the molecular weight of the solvent is 0.3 times, the molecular weight of solute, the weight ratio of the solvent and solute are:

How is relative lowering of vapour pressure defined for a solution consisting of volatile solvent and non-volatile solute ? How is this function related to the mole fraction of the solvent and of the solute?

The plot given below shows P -T curves (where P is the pressure and T is the temperature) for two solvents X and Y and isomolal solutions of NaCl in these solvents. NaCl completely dissociates in both the solvents. On addition of equal number of moles of a non-volatile solute S in equal amount (in kg) of these solvents, the elevation of boiling point of solvent X is three times that of solvent Y. Solute S is known to undergo dimerization in these solvents. If the degree of dimerization is 0.7 in solvent Y, the degree of dimerization in solvent X is ____.

Ionic compounds are soluble in organic solvents.
