State Raoult's law for a solution containing volatile components. What is the similarity between Raoult's law and Henry's law?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of each component of the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction present in the solution.
According to Raoult.s law , vapour pressure of a volatile component is given by
`p_1-x_1p_1^u`
According to Henry.s law
`p=K_Hx`
If we compare the two equations, we find that partial pressure of the volatile component or gas is directly proportional to its mole fraction in solution. Only the proportionality constant `K_H` differs from `p_1^0`. Thus there is a similarity between the two laws.
