The correct option for the value of vapour pressure of a solution at 45ºC with benzene to octane in molar ratio 3 : 2 is:

[At 45°C vapour pressure of benzene is 280 mm Hg and that of octane is 420 mm Hg. Assume Ideal gas]

  1. 160 mm of Hg
  2. 168 mm of Hg
  3. 336 mm of Hg
  4. 350 mm of Hg

Solution

Given: PB°=280 mm of Hg, Po°=420 mm of Hg

XB=35 and Xo=25

We know that according to Raoult's Law

PT=XBPB°+XoPo°=35×280+25×420=336 mm of Hg
