Liquids A and B form ideal solution over the entire range of composition. At temperature T, equimolar binary solution of liquids A and B has vapour pressure 45 Torr . At the same temperature, a new solution of A and B having mole fractions xA and xB, respectively, has vapour pressure of 22.5 Torr. The value of xAxB, in the new solution is ____.
(Given that the vapour pressure of pure liquid A is 20 Torr at temperature T)

  1. A 19
  2. B 20
  3. C 21
  4. D 22
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 19

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

45=PAo×12+PBo×12
PAo+PBo=90 .... i
Given, PAo=20 Torr
PBo=70 Torr
22.5 torr=20xA+701-xA
=70-50 xA.
xA=70-22.550=0.95
xB=0.05
So, XAXB=0.950.05=19.
