For a solution formed by mixing liquids L and M, the vapour pressure of L plotted against the mole fraction of M in solution is shown in the following figure, Here, XL and XM represent mole fractions of L and M, respectively, in the solution. The correct statement(s) applicable to this system is(are) -

  1. A The point Z represents vapour pressure of pure liquid M and Raoult's law is obeyed when XL 0
  2. B The point Z represents vapour pressure of pure liquid L and Raoult's law is obeyed when XL 1
  3. C Attractive inter-molecular interactions between LL in pure liquid L and M-M in pure liquid M are stronger than those between LM when mixed in solution
  4. D The point Z represents vapour pressure of pure liquid M and Raoult's law is obeyed from XL=0 to XL=1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Attractive inter-molecular interactions between LL in pure liquid L and M-M in pure liquid M are stronger than those between LM when mixed in solution
