Solution

The vapour pressure of a solution containing 2 moles of a solute in 2 moles of water (vapour pressure of pure water = 24 mm Hg) is 12 mm Hg.

Explanation:

Calculate the Mole Fraction of Water:

`X_"water" = "Moles of water"/("Moles of water" + "Moles of solute")`
Substitute the Values:

`= 2/(2 + 2)`

`= 2/4`

= 0.5
Apply Raoult's Law:

PSolution = Pwater . Xwater

PA = 24 mm Hg × 0.5

PA = 12mm Hg
