Solutions Question 385

Question: A mixture of A and B, which are two miscible liquids, is distilled under equilibrium conditions at atmospheric pressure. The mole fraction of A in solution is 0.3 and in vapour phase is 0.6. If the solution behaves ideally the ratio of P,Ao to P,Bo is

Options:

A) 4.0

B) 2.5

C) 3.5

D) 1.5

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

In solution XA=0.3
XB=0.7 In vapours YA=0.6YB=0.4 Using Dalton’s law YA=pApT i.e., YA=pAo×XAPAoXA+pBoXB

YB=pBoXBpAoXA+pBoXB

YAYB=pBoXBpBoXB

poApoB=YAYB×XBXA=0.60.4×0.70.3=3.5
