The relative lowering of vapour pressure of an aqueous solution containing a non volatile solute is 0.0125 . The molality of the solution is
Options
- A0.70
- B0.30
- C0.125
- D0.07
Correct answer
A. 0.70
Step-by-step solution
According to Raoult's law, "Relative lowering of vapour pressure = mole fraction of solute" (X_B )=0.0125 array rr & X_B= m M_A 10000+m M_A & 0.0125= m 18 1000+m 18 12.5+0.225 m=18 m & 17.775 m=12.5 & m= 12.5 17.775 =0.70 array
