According to Raoult's law, what is the relationship between the partial vapor pressure of each component and its mole fraction in the solution?
Options
- AThe partial vapor pressure is inversely proportional to the mole fraction.
- BThe partial vapor pressure is directly proportional to the mole fraction.
- CThe partial vapor pressure is unrelated to the mole fraction.
- DThe partial vapor pressure is a constant value for all components.
Correct answer
B. The partial vapor pressure is directly proportional to the mole fraction.
Step-by-step solution
Raoult's law states that for a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapor pressure of each component of the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction present in the solution.
