Question:

A solution at $20^{\circ}$C is composed of $1.5\, mol$ of benzene and $3.5\, mol$ of toluene. If the vapour pressure of pure benzene and pure toluene at this temperature are $74.7$ torr and $22.3$ torr, respectively, then the total vapour pressure of the solution and the benzene mole fraction in equilibrium with it will be, respectively :

  • 35.0 torr and 0.480
  • 38.0 torr and 0.589
  • 30.5 torr and 0.389
  • 35.8 torr and 0.280

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$P _{\text {mix }}= P_{A}^{ \circ } \times A+P_{B}^{ \circ } X_{B}=74.7 \times \frac{1.5}{5}+22.3 \times \frac{3.5}{5}$
$=38 .$ And $y_{\text {benzene}}=\frac{22.41}{38}=0.589$

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
