  1. A \(0.40\)
  2. B \(0.60\)
  3. C \(0.80\)
  4. D \(0.20\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{T}}^0=3.63 \mathrm{kPa} \quad \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{A}}=0.4 \quad\left[\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{A}}+\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{B}}=1\right] \\ & \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}=9.7 \mathrm{kPa} \quad \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{A}}=0.6 \\ & \therefore…
