$p_A$ and $p_B$ are the vapour pressures of pure liquid components $A$ and $B$ respectively of an ideal binary solution. If $x_A$ represents the mole fraction of component $A,$ the total pressure of the solution will be

  • A
    $p_B + x_A(p_B - p_A)$
  • B
    $p_B + x_A(p_A - p_B)$
  • C
    $p_A + x_A(p_B - p_A)$
  • D
    $p_A + x_A(p_A - p_B)$

One mole of a non-volatile solute is dissolved in two moles of water. What is the vapor pressure of this solution relative to that of pure water?

In $108 \, g$ of water,$18 \, g$ of a non-volatile compound is dissolved. At $100^{\circ} C$,the vapour pressure of the solution is $750 \, mm \, Hg$. Assuming that the compound does not undergo association or dissociation,the molar mass of the compound in $g \, mol^{-1}$ is

What is the vapour pressure of a solution containing $0.1 \text{ mol}$ of non-volatile solute dissolved in $16.2 \text{ g}$ water (in $\text{ mmHg}$)? ($P_1^0 = 24 \text{ mmHg}$, molar mass of water $18 \text{ g mol}^{-1}$)

When $25 \ g$ of a non-volatile solute is dissolved in $100 \ g$ of water, the vapour pressure is lowered by $2.25 \times 10^{-1} \ mm$. If the vapour pressure of water at $20^{\circ}C$ is $17.5 \ mm$, what is the molecular weight of the solute?

Assertion : If a liquid solute more volatile than the solvent is added to the solvent,the vapour pressure of the solution may increase i.e.,$p_s > p^o$.
Reason : In the presence of a more volatile liquid solute,only the solute will form the vapours and solvent will not.
