According to Raoult's law mole fraction of solute in solution is given by formula

  1. A \(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}_1^0}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{P}_1^0}{\mathrm{P}_1}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{P}_1^0}{\Delta \mathrm{P}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{P}_1}{\mathrm{P}_1^0}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}_1^0}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P_1=\) Vapour pressure of solution
\(\mathrm{P}_1^0=\) Vapour pressure of pure solvent
Mole fraction of solute \(=\frac{\mathrm{P}_1^0-\mathrm{P}_1}{\mathrm{P}_1^0}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}_1^0}\)
