Solution
In an ideal solution, the vapour pressure of the solution is decreased when a non-volatile solute is dissolved in a solvent. The magnitude of decrease in the vapour pressure of the solution depends on the amount of solute added.
Let us consider the solution with the following features.
Mole fraction of the solvent = xA
Mole fraction of the solute = xB
Vapour pressure of the pure solvent = P°A
Vapour pressure of solution = P
As the solute is nonvolatile, the vapour pressure of the solution is only due to the solvent.
Therefore, the vapour pressure of the solution (P) will be equal to the vapour pressure of the solvent (PA) over the solution.
i.e., P = PA
According to Raoult’s law, the vapour pressure of solvent over the solution is equal to the product or its vapour pressure in a pure state and its mole fraction.
PA = P°A xA or
P = P°A xA
