At , the vapour pressure of pure liquid ‘A’ is and that of pure liquid ‘B’ is . If a mixture solution of ‘A’ and ‘B’ boils at and pressure, the amount of ‘A’ in the mixture is ():
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
A liquid boils when its total vapour pressure equals the external atmospheric pressure ().According to Raoult's Law:
Since :
Thus, the mole percent of A is .
Since :
Thus, the mole percent of A is .
