The vapour pressure of a solvent decreased by `10 mm` of `Hg` when a non-volatile solute was added to the solvent. The mole fraction of solute is `0.2`, what would be the mole fraction of solvent if the decrease in vapour pressure is `20 mm` of `Hg`.

A

0.8

B

0.6

C

0.4

D

0.2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`P^@-P_s =P^@xxX_B10 =P^@xx0.2`
Again `20 =P^@xxX_B` Hence , n=0.4
so, mole fraction of solvent =1-0.4 =0.6
