P1 and P2 are the vapour pressures of pure liquid components, 1 and 2 respectively of an ideal binary solution if x1 represents the mole fraction of component 1, the total pressure of the solution formed by 1 and 2 will be ……(a) P1 + x1(P2 – P1) (b) P2 – x1(P2 + P1) (c) P1 – x2(P1 – P2) (d) P1 + x2(P1 – P2)

Answer»

(c) P1 – x2 (P1 – P2

Ptotal = P1 + P2 

= P1x1 + P2x2 

= P1(1 – x2 ) + P2x2 

= P1 – P1x2 + P2x2 = P1 – x2(P1 – P2

[∵ x1 + x2 = 1 

x1 = 1 – x2]
