Liquid A and B form an ideal solution. The vapour pressures of pure liquids A and B are 350 and 750 mm Hg respectively at the same temperature. If and are the mole fraction of A and B in solution while and are the mole fraction of A and B in vapour phase, then,
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Use Raoult’s law for an ideal solution
For liquids and : where
Total vapour pressure:
- Relate vapour-phase mole fractions to partial pressures
By Dalton’s law, So, Hence,
Therefore, which gives So Option D is correct.
- Check the other options
Option B:
This is false because not equal to .
Option C:
False, since we found the reverse inequality.
Option A:
We test the sign of and .
Since is more volatile (), vapour is richer in : Thus, Similarly, Therefore, So the statement is false.
- Final conclusion
The correct option is:
