JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Solutions / विलयन Question Bank Lowering of vapour pressure

  • question_answer
    A solution has a 1 : 4 mole ratio of pentane to hexane. The vapour pressure of the pure hydrocarbons at 20°C are 440 mmHg for pentane and 120 mmHg for hexane. The mole fraction of pentane in the vapour phase would be [CBSE PMT 2005]

    A)                 0.549     

    B)                 0.200

    C)                 0.786     

    D)                 0.478

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

             \[{{P}_{T}}=P_{p}^{0}{{x}_{p}}+P_{h}^{0}{{x}_{h}}\]= \[440\times \frac{1}{5}+120\times \frac{4}{5}\]               = \[88+96\]=\[184\];  \[P_{p}^{0}{{x}_{p}}={{y}_{p}}{{P}_{T}}\]; \[\frac{88}{184}={{y}_{p}}\]                                 \[{{y}_{p}}=0.478\]
