The vapour pressure of pure liquid solve...

The vapour pressure of pure liquid solvent A is `0.80`atm.When a non volatile substances B is added to the solvent, its vapour pressure drops to `0.60`atm. Mole fraction of the components B in the solution is:

A

`0.50`

B

`0.25`

C

`0.75`

D

gives data is not sufficient

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(P^(@) -P_(s))/(P^(@)) = X_("solute")`
`X_("solute") = 0.25`
