The vapour pressure of a pure liquid $A$ is $70 \ torr$ at $300 \ K$. It forms an ideal solution with another liquid $B$. The mole fraction of $B$ is $0.2$ and the total vapour pressure of the solution is $84 \ torr$ at the same temperature. The vapour pressure of pure liquid $B$ (in $torr$) is:

  • A
    $140$
  • B
    $90$
  • C
    $120$
  • D
    $80$

Relative lowering of vapour pressure of a dilute solution is $0.5$. What is the mole fraction of the non-volatile solute?

The vapor pressure of a dilute solution of glucose at $373 \ K$ is $750 \ mm \ of \ Hg$. The molality of the solution is:

The vapour pressure of water at $20^\circ C$ is $17.5 \ mm \ Hg$. If $18 \ g$ of glucose $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ is added to $178.2 \ g$ of water at $20^\circ C$,what will be the vapour pressure of the resulting solution (in $mm \ Hg$)?

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

In a solution,the mole fraction of solute is $0.2$ when the lowering in vapour pressure is $10 \text{ mm Hg}$. To achieve a lowering of vapour pressure of $20 \text{ mm Hg}$,the mole fraction of the solute in the solution should be:
