The vapour pressures of A and B at 25°C are 90 mmHg and 15 mm Hg respectively. If A and B are mixed such that the mole fraction of A in the mixture is 0.6, then the mole fraction of B in the vapour phase is x×10-1. The value of x is (Nearest integer)

Solution

Given PA°=90 mmHg, at 25°C

PB=15 mmHg

and XA=0.6XB=0.4PT=XAPAo+XBPBo

=(0.6×90)+(0.4×15)

=54+6=60 mm

Now mol fraction of B in the vapour phase

i.e. YB=PBPT=XBPBo60=0.1=1×10-1

therefore: x=1
