  • A
    $0.3$
  • B
    $0.333$

The vapour pressures of $A$ and $B$ at $25^{\circ} C$ are $90 \ mm \ Hg$ and $15 \ mm \ Hg$ respectively. If $A$ and $B$ are mixed such that the mole fraction of $A$ in the mixture is $0.6$,then the mole fraction of $B$ in the vapour phase is $x \times 10^{-1}$. The value of $x$ is $.....$ (Nearest integer)

Assertion $(A)$: The vapour pressure of $0.1 \ M$ sugar solution is less than that of $0.1 \ M$ $KCl$ solution.
Reason $(R)$: Lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to the number of particles of non-volatile solute present in the solution.
The correct answer is

The vapor pressures of two liquids $A$ and $B$ are $80 \ mm$ and $60 \ mm$ respectively. If $3 \ mol$ of $A$ and $2 \ mol$ of $B$ are mixed,the total vapor pressure of the resulting solution will be .......... $mm$.
