Question

For a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of a component is equal to the product of its ______ in ______ and its ______ in the solution.

Answer 1

For a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of a component is equal to the product of its vapour pressure in pure state and its mole fraction in the solution.

Explanation:

Raoult’s law is given by

`P_A = P_A^circ * chi_A`

Where:

P_A​ = partial vapour pressure of component A

`P_A^circ` = vapour pressure of pure A

χ_A​ = mole fraction of A in the solution
