Vapour pressure of pure 'A' is 70 ~mm of Hg at 25^ C . It forms an ideal solution with ' B ' in which mole fraction of A is 0.8 . If the vapour pressure of the solution is 84 ~mm of Hg at 25^ C , the vapour pressure of pure ' B ' at 25^ C is
Options
- A28 ~mm
- B56 ~mm
- C70 ~mm
- D140 ~mm
Correct answer
D. 140 ~mm
Step-by-step solution
p = p _ A ^ x _ A + p _ B ^ x _ B 84=70 0.8+ p _ B ^ 0.284=56+ p _ B ^ 0.2 p _ B ^ = 28 0.2 =140 ~mm
