`p_A^0 = 450 mm , p_B^0 = 700 mm, p_("total") = 600 mm`
Applying Raoult.s law, `p_A = x_A xx p_A^0`
`p_B = x_B xx p_B^0 = (1- x_A)p_B^0`
`p_("total") = p_A + p_B = x_Ap_A^0 + (1-x_A)p_B^0 = p_B^0 + (p_A^0 - p_B^0)x_A`
Substituting the values in the above equation, we get
`600 = 700 + (450 - 700)x_A " or " 250x_A = 100 " or "x_A = (100)/(250) = 0.40`
Thus, composition of the liquid mixture will be
`x_A = 0.40 `
`x_B = 1-0.40 = 0.60`
` therefore p_A = x_A xx p_A^0 = 0.40 xx 450 mm = 180 mm`
`p_B = x_B xx p_B^0 = 0.60 xx 700 mm = 420 mm`
Mole fraction of A in the vapour phase ` = (p_A)/(p_A + p_B) = (180)/(180 + 420) = 0.30`
Mole fraction of B in the vapour phase = 1 - 0.30 = 0.70.
