Liquids A and B form ideal solution for all compositions of A and B at 25C. Two such solutions with 0.25 and 0.50 mole fractions of A have the total vapor pressures of 0.3 and 0.4 bar, respectively. What is the vapor pressure of pure liquid B in bar?

Solution

PTotal =PAoXA+PBoXB

(i)0.3=(PAo)14+(PBo)34

PA+PB=1.2

(ii) 0.4=(PAo)12+(PBo)12

PA+PB=0.8

From equation (1) and equation (2)

PBo=0.2bar and PAo=0.6bar
