What is the vapor pressure of a solution containing a solid solute and a liquid solvent?

  • A
    It is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent.
  • B
    It is inversely proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent.
  • C
    It is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solute.
  • D
