    Liquids A and B form an ideal solution. At \[30{}^\circ C\], the total vapour pressure of a Solution containing 1 mol of A and 2 mol of B is 250 mm Hg. The total vapour pressure becomes 300 mm Hg when 1 more mol of A is added to the first solution. The vapour pressures of pure A and B at the same temperature are     JEE Main  Online Paper (Held On 19  May  2012)

    A) 150,450 mm Hg                

    B) 125,150 mm Hg

    C) 450,150 mm Hg                

    D) 250,300 mm Hg

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let vapour pressure of \[A=P_{A}^{0}\] Vapour pressure of \[B=P_{B}^{0}\] In first solution, Mole fraction of \[A({{x}_{A}})=\frac{1}{1+2}=\frac{1}{3}\] Mole fraction of\[B({{x}_{B}})=\frac{2}{1+2}=\frac{2}{3}\] According to Raoult's law, Total vapour pressure \[=250=P_{A}^{0}{{x}_{A}}+P_{B}^{0}{{x}_{B}}\] \[=250=\frac{1}{3}P_{A}^{0}+\frac{2}{3}P_{B}^{0}\] ? (i) In second solution Mole fraction of\[A({{x}_{A}})=\frac{2}{2+2}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\] Mole fraction of \[B({{x}_{A}})=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \]Total vapour pressure \[=300=P_{A}^{0}{{x}_{A}}+P_{B}^{0}{{x}_{B}}\] \[300=\frac{1}{2}P_{A}^{0}+\frac{1}{2}P_{B}^{0}\]? (ii) Multiplying equation (i) by\[\frac{1}{2}\] and equation (ii) by\[\frac{1}{3}\] \[\frac{1}{6}P_{A}^{0}+\frac{2}{6}P_{B}^{0}=125\] \[\frac{\frac{1}{6}P_{A}^{0}+\frac{1}{6}P_{B}^{0}=100}{\frac{1}{6}P_{B}^{0}=25}\] \[P_{B}^{0}=25\times 6=150mm\,Hg\] On substituting value of \[P_{B}^{0}\]in equation (ii) we get\[\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}\]                                      ?(i) \[300=P_{A}^{0}\times \frac{1}{2}+150\times \frac{1}{2}\] \[P_{A}^{0}=450mmHg\]
