When 0.250.25 moles of a non-volatile, non-ionizable solute was dissolved in 11 mole of a solvent the vapor pressure of solution was x%x\% of vapor pressure of pure solvent. What is x%x\%?

Options

  1. A50%50\%
  2. B60%60\%
  3. C70%70\%
  4. D80%80\%

Correct answer

D. 80%80\%

Step-by-step solution

Moles of solute, nB=0.25n_B = 0.25

Moles of solvent, nA=1n_A = 1

Mole fraction of solvent, XA=nAnA+nB=11+0.25=11.25=0.8X_A = \dfrac{n_A}{n_A + n_B} = \dfrac{1}{1 + 0.25} = \dfrac{1}{1.25} = 0.8

According to Raoult's law, the vapor pressure of the solution is given by Ps=P0XAP_s = P^0 X_A

Ps=0.8P0=80% of P0P_s = 0.8 P^0 = 80\% \text{ of } P^0

Thus, the vapor pressure of the solution is 80%80\% of the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.

Answer: 80%80\%
