Discuss the concept of vapour pressure.

Which vessel has more pressure. Why?

Assertion: The pressure exerted by the vapour of a liquid at equilibrium at a given temperature is called its vapour pressure. Reason: If a nonvolatile solute is added to a solvent to give a solution, the vapour pressure of the solution is found to be greater than the vapour pressure of the pure solvent.

What is vapour pressure of a liquid ?

The vapour pressure of a pure liquid 'A' is 60mm, at 25^@C . It forms an ideal solution with another liquid 'B'. The mole fraction of 'B' is 0.6 and the total Pressure is 64mm. Then the vapour pressure of 'B' at 25^@C is
