Two liquids A and B form an ideal solution. At 320 K, the vapour pressure of the solution, containing 3 mol of A and 1 mol of B is 500 mm Hg. At the same temperature, if 1 mol of A is further added to this solution, vapour pressure of the solution increases by 20 mm Hg. Vapour pressure (in mm Hg) of B in pure state is ____\_\_\_\_. (Nearest integer)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

For an ideal solution, Raoult's law states:
Ptotal=PAoxA+PBoxBP_{total} = P_A^o x_A + P_B^o x_B.
Initial condition: 3 mol of A and 1 mol of B give a total vapor pressure of 500 mm Hg.
Mole fractions are xA=34=0.75x_A = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75 and xB=14=0.25x_B = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25.
This gives: 500=0.75PAo+0.25PBo500 = 0.75 P_A^o + 0.25 P_B^o ... (1).
After adding 1 mol of A: 4 mol of A and 1 mol of B give a total vapor pressure of 520 mm Hg.
Mole fractions are xA=45=0.8x_A = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8 and xB=15=0.2x_B = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2.
This gives: 520=0.8PAo+0.2PBo520 = 0.8 P_A^o + 0.2 P_B^o ... (2).
From equation (1) multiplied by 4: 2000=3PAo+PBo2000 = 3 P_A^o + P_B^o.
From equation (2) multiplied by 5: 2600=4PAo+PBo2600 = 4 P_A^o + P_B^o.
Subtracting: 600=PAo600 = P_A^o.
Substituting back into equation (1): 2000=3(600)+PBo2000 = 3(600) + P_B^o, so PBo=200P_B^o = 200 mm Hg.
