Solutions and Colligative Properties 1 Question 11
12. For a dilute solution, Raoult’s law states that
$(1985,1 \mathrm{M})$
(a) the lowering of vapour pressure is equal to the mole fraction of solute
(b) the relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to the mole fraction of solute
(c) the relative lowering of vapour pressure is proportional to the amount of solute in solution
(d) the vapour pressure of the solution is equal to the mole fraction of solvent
Show Answer
Solution:
- The relative lowering of vapour pressure :
$$ \frac{-\Delta p}{p^{\circ}}=\chi_{2} \quad \text { (mole fraction of solute) } $$
