The vapor pressures of two liquids $A$ and $B$ are $80 \ mm$ and $60 \ mm$ respectively. If $3 \ mol$ of $A$ and $2 \ mol$ of $B$ are mixed,the total vapor pressure of the resulting solution will be .......... $mm$.

$A$ set of solutions is prepared using $180 \ g$ of water as a solvent and $10 \ g$ of different non-volatile solutes $A, B$ and $C$. The relative lowering of vapour pressure in the presence of these solutes are in the order
[Given,molar mass of $A = 100 \ g \ mol^{-1}; B = 200 \ g \ mol^{-1}; C = 10,000 \ g \ mol^{-1}]$

When $25 \ g$ of a non-volatile solute is dissolved in $100 \ g$ of water, the vapour pressure is lowered by $2.25 \times 10^{-1} \ mm$. If the vapour pressure of water at $20^{\circ}C$ is $17.5 \ mm$, what is the molecular weight of the solute?

The vapor pressure of a pure liquid solvent $(X)$ decreases from $0.80 \ atm$ to $0.60 \ atm$ upon the addition of a non-volatile solute $(Y)$. What is the mole fraction of $(Y)$ in the solution?
