Hello,
Vapour pressure of A, Va = 600 mmhg ( Given)
Vapour pressure of reaction, V = 760 mmhg ( Given)
No. of moles of A, Xa = No. of moles of B, Xb = 0.5 (Given) [ Xa + Xb = 1]
Now applying Raoult's law, we have:
V = Va * Xa + Vb * Xb
We have to find, vapour pressure of B, Vb. Subsituting the values given, in the equation above, we get:
760 = 600 * 0.5 + Vb * 0.5
= Vb = 460/0.5 = 920
Therefore, Vapour pressure of B in pure state is: 920 mmhg (Answer)
Question : ______ states that 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 solution.
