Give the reason behind the lowering of vapour pressure in the dissolution of NaCl in water?

Answer»

NaCI is a non volatile solute. When a non volatile solute is dissolved in pure solvent, the vapour pressure of pure solvent will decrease. In such solution, vapour pressure of the solution will depend only on the solvent molecules as the solute is non-volatile.
