The vapour pressure of water is at . Now, calculate the vapour pressure of molar solution of a solute in it.

A mixture of toluene and benzene forms a nearly ideal solution. Assume and to be the vapor pressures of pure benzene and toluene, respectively. The slope of the line obtained by plotting the total vapor pressure to the mole fraction of benzene is:

Vapour pressure of benzene is . When of non-volatile solute is dissolved in benzene, benzene solution has vapour pressure . Calculate the molar mass of the solute in ( molar mass of benzene = ).

Raoult's law states that for a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of each component of the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction present in solution.

For a dilute solution containing of a non-volatile non-electrolyte solution in of water, the elevation in boiling point at pressure is Assuming the concentration of solute is much lower than the concentration of the solvent, the vapor pressure of the solution is ()

Partial pressure of solvent (mole fraction) in solution of non-volatile solute (mole fraction) is given by equation,

Explain the determination of molar mass of a solute from relative lowering in vapour pressure.

In an equilibrium at with a benzene-toluene solution, the mole fraction of benzene is 0.400, then, what is the mole fraction of toluene in vapour phase?


Mark the correct statement(s) from the following.

Select the correct option from the following colligative effect:

Two liquids and form an ideal solution at temperature . When the total vapour pressure above the solution is Torr, then mole fraction of in the vapour phase is and in the liquid phase is .
If vapour pressure pure 'A' and pure 'B' are then find the value of (in torr).

An ideal binary liquid solution of A and B has a vapour pressure of 900 mm of Hg. It is distilled at constant temperature till of the original amount is distilled. If the mole fraction of 'A' in residue and mole fraction of B in condensate is 0.3 and 0.4 respectively and vapour pressure of residue is 860 mm of Hg then select the correct option(s).

Two liquids and from an ideal solution at , vapour pressure of the solution containing mol of and mol of is . At the same temperature, if mole of is further added to this solution, Vapor pressure of the solution increases by . Vapor pressure (in mm Hg) of and in their pure states will be, respectively:

Total vapour pressure of mixture of
