Two liquids $A$ and $B$ have vapour pressure in the ratio $P_A^o : P_B^o = 1 : 3$ at a certain temperature. If the ratio of mole fractions of $A$ to $B$ in the vapour phase is $4 : 3$,then the mole fraction of $B$ in the solution at the same temperature is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}$

Select the correct option using $T$ (True) or $F$ (False) for the following statements: $(1)$ The decrease in vapour pressure is equal to the mole fraction of the solute. $(2)$ The relative lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to the amount of solute. $(3)$ The relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to the mole fraction of the solute. $(4)$ The vapour pressure of the solution is equal to the mole fraction of the solvent.

The vapour pressure of a solvent decreases by $20 \ mm$ of $Hg$ when a non-volatile solute is added to the solvent. The mole fraction of the solute in the solution is $0.5$. What should be the mole fraction of the solvent for the decrease in the vapour pressure to be $10 \ mm$ of $Hg$?

If the vapor pressure of liquid $A$ is ${P_A}^o$ and the vapor pressure of liquid $B$ is ${P_B}^o$,then the partial vapor pressure of $A$ in the solution will be .....

Vapour pressure of a pure solvent is $550 \ mm$ of $Hg$. By addition of a non-volatile solute,it decreases to $510 \ mm$ of $Hg$. Calculate the mole fraction of the solute in the solution.

$100 \, g$ of liquid $A$ (molar mass $140 \, g \, mol^{-1}$) was dissolved in $1000 \, g$ of liquid $B$ (molar mass $180 \, g \, mol^{-1}$). The vapour pressure of pure liquid $B$ was found to be $500 \, torr$. Calculate the vapour pressure of pure liquid $A$ and its vapour pressure in the solution if the total vapour pressure of the solution is $475 \, torr$.
