The lowering of vapour pressure of the solvent takes place on dissolving a non-volatile solute becauseA. the density of the solution increasesB. the surface tension of the solution decreasesC. the molecules of the solvent on the surface are replaced by the molecules of the soluteD. the mole fraction of solvent is less than 1

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Vapour pressure does not depend upon surface area of a volatile liquid `(p)/(p^(@)) = x_("solvent")` In case of a solution `x_("solvent") lt 1`.
`:. p lt p^(@)`.
