The correct Answer is:
To determine which form of Raoult's law is incorrect, we will analyze the various forms presented in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Raoult's Law**: Raoult's law states that the relative lowering of vapor pressure of a solvent when a solute is added is equal to the mole fraction of the solute. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \frac{P_0 - P_s}{P_0} = X_{solute} \] where \( P_0 \) is the vapor pressure of the pure solvent, \( P_s \) is the vapor pressure of the solution, and \( X_{solute} \) is the mole fraction of the solute. 2. **Rearranging the General Form**: From the general form, we can express it in various ways. For example: \[ \frac{P_0}{P_0 - P_s} = 1 + \frac{N}{n} \] where \( N \) is the number of moles of solvent and \( n \) is the number of moles of solute. 3. **Identifying the Forms**: We will check each option provided in the question to see if they conform to the correct forms derived from Raoult's law. 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option 1**: \( \frac{P_0 - P_s}{P_0} = \frac{n}{N + n} \) - This is a correct form of Raoult's law. - **Option 2**: \( \frac{P_0}{P_0 - P_s} = 1 + \frac{N}{n} \) - This is also a correct form. - **Option 3**: \( \frac{P_0 - P_s}{P_s} = \frac{N}{n} + 1 \) - This form is incorrect. If we take the reciprocal of \( \frac{P_0 - P_s}{P_s} \), we should not get \( \frac{N}{n} + 1 \). - **Option 4**: \( \frac{P_s}{P_0 - P_s} = \frac{N}{n} \) - This is a correct form derived from rearranging the general equation. 5. **Conclusion**: After evaluating all options, we find that **Option 3** is the incorrect form of Raoult's law. ### Final Answer: The incorrect form of Raoult's law is **Option 3**.
