A mixture of two liquids A and B have vapour pressures 3.4 × 104 Nm-2 and 5.2 × 10 Nm-2. If the mole fractions of A is 0.85, find the vapour pressure of the solution. |
Answer» Given : Vapour pressure of pure liquid A = \(P_A^0\) = 3.4 × 104 Nm-2 Vapour pressure of pure liquid B Mole fraction of A = xA = 0.85 Mole fraction of B = xB = 1 – xA = 1 – 0.85 = 0.15 The vapour solution is given by, Psoln = XA\(P_A^0\) + XB\(P_B^0\) = 0.85 × 3.4 × 10 + 0.15 × 5.2 × 104 = 2.89 × 10 + 0.78 × 104 = (2.89 + 0.78) × 104 Psoln = 3.67 × 104 Nm-2 Vapour pressure of a solution = 3.67 × 104 Nm-2 |
