The vapour pressure of a liquid decreases by 10 torr when a non-volatile solute is dissolved. The mole fraction of the solute in solution is 0.1. What would be the mole fraction of the liquid if the decrease in vapour pressure is 20 torr, the same solute being dissolved?

How is the vapour pressure of a solvent affected when a non volatile solute is dissolved in it?

Why vapour pressure of a liquid decreases when a non - volatile solute is added to it ?

Vapour pressure of a solvent decreases by 1% on adding a non-volatile solute Na_2SO_(4) . If it dissociates up to 25% then determine mole-fraction of solute, if solvent is 5 mole.

If mole fraction of the solvent in a solution decreases than:

The vapour pressure of pure liquid solvent A is 0.80 atm . When a non-volatile substance B is added to the solvent, its vapour pressure drops to 0.60 atm , the mole fraction of component B in the solution is

Vapour pressure of pure water is 40 mm. if a non-volatile solute is added to it, vapour pressure falls by 4 mm. Hence, molality of solution is
