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.

The vapour pressure of a solvent decreases by $10 \ mm$ of $Hg$ when a non-volatile solute is added to the solvent. The mole fraction of the solute in the solution is $0.2$. What should be the mole fraction of the solvent if the decrease in the vapour pressure is to be $20 \ mm$ of $Hg$?

Vapour pressure of a pure solvent is $550 \ mm$ of $Hg$. By addition of a non-volatile solute,it decreases to $510 \ mm$ of $Hg$. Calculate the mole fraction of the solute in the solution.
