What is the relation between the vapour pressure of solution, vapour pressure of solvent and its mole fraction in the solution?
Options
- AP ₁= P ₁^ * x₁
- BP ₁^ * = P ₁ x₁
- CP ₁= P ₁^* x₂
- DP ₁^ * = P ₁ x₂
Correct answer
A. P ₁= P ₁^ * x₁
Step-by-step solution
The relation between the vapour pressure of the solution (P₁ ) , the vapour pressure of the pure solvent (P₁^* ) , and the mole fraction of the solvent (x₁ ) in the solution is given by Raoult's Law for an ideal solution. Raoult's Law states: P₁=P₁^* x₁ Where: - P₁ is the vapour pressure of the solvent in the solution, - P₁^* is the vapour pressure of the pure solvent, - x₁ is the mole fraction of the solvent in the solution. The correct relation is (1): P₁=P₁^* x₁
