If $P_0$ and $P_s$ are the vapour pressures of the solvent and its solution respectively,and $N_1$ and $N_2$ are the mole fractions of the solvent and solute respectively,then which of the following is correct?

  • A
    $P_s = \frac{P_0}{N_2}$
  • B
    $P_0 - P_s = P_0N_2$
  • C
    $P_s = P_0N_2$
  • D
    $\frac{P_0 - P_s}{P_s} = \frac{N_1}{N_1 + N_2}$

The mass of glucose that should be dissolved in $100 \ g$ of water in order to produce the same relative lowering of vapour pressure as is produced by dissolving $1 \ g$ of urea (molar mass $= 60 \ g/mol$) in $50 \ g$ of water is ........... $g$. (Assume dilute solution in both cases):-

Relative lowering in vapour pressure of a solution containing a non-volatile solute is the ratio of:

At $25^\circ C$,the vapor pressure of $CCl_4$ is $143 \ mm \ Hg$. If $0.5 \ g$ of a non-volatile solute (molar mass $= 65 \ g/mol$) is dissolved in $100 \ mL$ of $CCl_4$,the vapor pressure of the resulting solution is $...... \ mm \ Hg$. (Density of $CCl_4 = 1.58 \ g/cm^3$)

The vapour pressure of a given liquid decreases if?

Assertion : If a liquid solute more volatile than the solvent is added to the solvent,the vapour pressure of the solution may increase i.e.,$p_s > p^o$.
Reason : In the presence of a more volatile liquid solute,only the solute will form the vapours and solvent will not.
