    Addition of a non-volatile solute causes lowering in vapour pressure of a solvent from 0.8 atm. to 0.2 atm. What is the mole fraction of solvent?

    A)  0.25           

    B)  0.75

    C)  0.50

    D)  Cannot be predicted

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    From Raoults law, \[\frac{P-{{P}_{s}}}{P}=\]mole fraction of solute \[({{x}_{A}})\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{x}_{A}}=\frac{0.8-0.2}{0.8}\]       \[=\frac{0.6}{0.8}=0.75\] Hence, mole-fraction of solvent \[=1-0.75=0.25\]
