The vapour pressure of two pure liquids and that form an ideal solution, are 400 and of Hg respectivelyat a temperature . The mole fraction of in a solution of and whose boiling point is will be
Options
- A0.4
- B0.8
- C0.1
- D0.2
Correct answer
C. 0.1
Step-by-step solution
V.P. of solution at [at b.p., V.P. of solution =atompheric pressure] Thus =\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{A}}+\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}^{\infty} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{B}}
or \mathrm{P}=\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}^{0} \cdot \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{A}}+\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}^{0}\left(1- \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{A}}\right)\left[\because \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{A}}+\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{B}}=1\right]760=400 \mathrm{X}_{\m mathrm{A}}\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{A}})[\because\mathrm{P}=760 \mathrm{mmofHg} or
or \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{A}}
or x_{\ mmathrm{A}}=\frac{40}{400}=
Thus mole fraction in solution is 0.1
