A mixture of ethyl alcohol and propyl alcohol has a vapour pressure of 290 ~mm at 300 ~K . The vapour pressure of propyl alcohol is 200 ~mm . If the mole fraction of ethyl alcohol is 0.6 , its vapour pressure (in mm ) at the same temperature will be
Options
- A350
- B300
- C700
- D360
Correct answer
A. 350
Step-by-step solution
Let the vapour pressure of pure ethyl alcohol be P , According to Raoult's law aligned & 290=200 0.4+ P 0.6 & P = 290-80 0.6 =350 ~mm ~Hg aligned Hence, (A) is correct.
