Solutions Question 398

Question: The vapour pressure of two pure liquids A and B which form an ideal solution are 1000 and 1600 torr respectively at 400 K. A liquid solution of A and B for which the mole fraction of A is 0.60 is contained in a cylinder by a piston on which the pressure can be varied. The solution use slowly vapourised at 400 K by decreasing the applied pressure. What is the composition of last droplet of liquid remaining in equilibrium with vapour-

Options:

A) XA=0.30,XB=0.70

B) XA=0.40,XB=0.60

C) XA=0.70,XB=0.30

D) XA=0.50,XB=0.50

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

pA0=1000 torr pB0=1600 XA=0.6

YA=0.6 (from graph) YA=pA0XApA0XA+pB0(1XA) 0.6=1000XA1000XA+1600(1XA) XXA=0.70XXB=1XA=0.30
