The following graph is obtained for an ideal solution containing a non-volatile solute, \(x\) - and \(y\)-axis represent, respectively

  1. A mole fraction of solute, vapour pressure of solute.
  2. B mole fraction of solvent, vapour pressure of solution.
  3. C mole fraction of solute, vapour pressure of solution.
  4. D concentration of solution, vapour pressure of solution
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) mole fraction of solvent, vapour pressure of solution.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P_{solution} = P^0_{solvent} \cdot x_{solvent} = P^0_{solvent} \cdot (1 - x_{solute}) = P^0_{solvent} - P^0_{solvent} \cdot x_{solute}\) x-axis: mole fraction of solute (\(x_{solute}\)) y-axis: vapour pressure of solution (\(P_{solution}\))
