    The vapour pressure of two liquids P and Q are 80 and 60 Torr, respectively. The total vapour pressure of solution obtained by mixing 3 moles of P and 2 moles of Q would be

    A)  140 Torr

    B)  20 Torr

    C)  68 Torr

    D)  72 Torr

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Mole fraction of \[P=\frac{3}{3+2}=\frac{3}{5}\] Mole fraction of Q\[Q=\frac{2}{3+2}=\frac{2}{5}\] Hence, total vapour pressure = Mole fraction of \[\text{P}\,\text{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\,\text{V}\text{.P}\text{.}\]of P + mole fraction of \[Q\,\,\text{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\,\text{V}\text{.P}\text{.}\]of Q \[=\left( \frac{3}{5}\times 80+\frac{2}{5}\times 60 \right)=48+24\] \[=72\,\text{Torr}\]
