Assertion $:-$ Vapour pressure of a liquid increases on increasing surface area.
Reason $:-$ Rate of vaporisation of a liquid is directly proportional to surface area.

The vapor pressure of water at $23\,^{\circ}C$ is $19.8\,mm\,Hg$. What will be the vapor pressure (in $mm\,Hg$) of the resulting solution when $0.1\,mol$ of glucose is dissolved in $178.2\,g$ of water?

The vapor pressures of two liquids $P$ and $Q$ are $80 \ torr$ and $60 \ torr$,respectively. The total vapor pressure of a solution formed by mixing $3 \ moles$ of $P$ and $2 \ moles$ of $Q$ is .......... $torr$.
