The vapor pressures of two pure liquids $(A)$ and $(B)$ are $100 \ Torr$ and $80 \ Torr$ respectively. What is the total vapor pressure of the solution formed by mixing $2 \ moles$ of $(A)$ and $3 \ moles$ of $(B)$ (in $Torr$)?

$A$ set of solutions is prepared using $180 \ g$ of water as a solvent and $10 \ g$ of different non-volatile solutes $A, B$ and $C$. The relative lowering of vapour pressure in the presence of these solutes are in the order
[Given,molar mass of $A = 100 \ g \ mol^{-1}; B = 200 \ g \ mol^{-1}; C = 10,000 \ g \ mol^{-1}]$

The variation of vapour pressure $(b)$ as a function of temperature $(a)$ is studied for $C_2H_5OC_2H_5$,$CCl_4$,and $H_2O$ at $760 \ mm \ Hg$ and is shown in the figure below. The boiling temperatures of $C_2H_5OC_2H_5$,$CCl_4$,and $H_2O$ are $308 \ K$,$350 \ K$,and $373 \ K$ respectively. Curves $A$,$B$,and $C$ respectively correspond to:

An aqueous solution is $1.00 \ molal$ in $KI$. Which change will cause the vapour pressure of the solution to increase?

At $300 \ K$,the vapour pressure of a solution containing $1 \ mole$ of $n-hexane$ and $3 \ moles$ of $n-heptane$ is $550 \ mm \ Hg$. At the same temperature,if one more mole of $n-heptane$ is added to this solution,the vapour pressure of the solution increases by $10 \ mm \ Hg$. What is the vapour pressure in $mm \ Hg$ of $n-heptane$ in its pure state?
