  • A
    leaves the vapour increases
  • B
    leaves the solution increases
  • C
    leaves the solution decreases
  • D

Assuming $100 \%$ ionization of the electrolytes,the relative decrease in vapor pressure will be in the order:

$A$ solution containing $30 \,g$ of non-volatile solute in $90 \,g$ of water has a vapour pressure of $2.8 \,kPa$ at $298 \,K$. Further,$18 \,g$ of water is added to the solution and the new vapour pressure becomes $2.9 \,kPa$ at $298 \,K$. Calculate:
$i$. Molar mass of the solute
$ii$. Vapour pressure of water at $298 \,K$

The vapour pressure of a solvent decreases by $10 \ mm$ of $Hg$ when a non-volatile solute is added to the solvent. The mole fraction of the solute in the solution is $0.2$. What should be the mole fraction of the solvent if the decrease in the vapour pressure is to be $20 \ mm$ of $Hg$?
