Solutions Question 312

Question: Vapour pressure (in torr) of an ideal solution of two liquids A and B is given by: P=52XA+114 where XA is the mole fraction of A in the mixture. The vapour pressure (in torr) of equimolar mixture of the two liquids will be:

Options:

A) 166

B) 83

C) 140

D) 280

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Total V.P., P=PA0XA+PB0XB=PA0XA+PB0(1XA)

=(PA0PB0)XA+PB0 Thus, PB=114,torr;PA0PB0=52 or PA0=166torr Hence P=166×12+114×12=140torr
