What does Raoult's work establish regarding the effect of solute particles on vapor pressure?
Options
- AThe lowering of vapor pressure depends on the concentration of solute particles, but it also depends on their
- BThe lowering of vapor pressure depends only on the identity of the solute particles.
- CThe lowering of vapor pressure depends on the concentration of solute particles, and it is independent of thei
- DThe lowering of vapor pressure depends only on the identity of the solvent.
Correct answer
C. The lowering of vapor pressure depends on the concentration of solute particles, and it is independent of thei
Step-by-step solution
Raoult's work established that the lowering of vapor pressure in a solution depends on the concentration of solute particles and is independent of their identity.
