Correct answer: 1

  1. Use Raoult’s law for an ideal solution

For components AAA and BBB:

pA=xAPA0,pB=xBPB0p_A = x_A P_A^0, \qquad p_B = x_B P_B^0pA​=xA​PA0​,pB​=xB​PB0​

Given:

PA0=90 mm Hg,PB0=15 mm HgP_A^0 = 90\ \text{mm Hg}, \qquad P_B^0 = 15\ \text{mm Hg}PA0​=90 mm Hg,PB0​=15 mm Hg

Liquid-phase mole fraction of AAA:

xA=0.6x_A = 0.6xA​=0.6

So,

xB=1−0.6=0.4x_B = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4xB​=1−0.6=0.4

  1. Calculate partial pressures

pA=0.6×90=54 mm Hgp_A = 0.6 \times 90 = 54\ \text{mm Hg}pA​=0.6×90=54 mm Hg

pB=0.4×15=6 mm Hgp_B = 0.4 \times 15 = 6\ \text{mm Hg}pB​=0.4×15=6 mm Hg

  1. Calculate total vapour pressure

Ptotal=pA+pB=54+6=60 mm HgP_{\text{total}} = p_A + p_B = 54 + 6 = 60\ \text{mm Hg}Ptotal​=pA​+pB​=54+6=60 mm Hg

  1. Find mole fraction of BBB in vapour phase

If yBy_ByB​ is the mole fraction of BBB in vapour,

yB=pBPtotal=660=0.1y_B = \frac{p_B}{P_{\text{total}}} = \frac{6}{60} = 0.1yB​=Ptotal​pB​​=606​=0.1

Given that mole fraction of BBB in vapour phase is

x×10−1x \times 10^{-1}x×10−1

So,

0.1=1×10−10.1 = 1 \times 10^{-1}0.1=1×10−1

Hence,

x=1x = 1x=1

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 111

Our derived answer = 111

They agree.
