If the mole fraction of solvent of binary solution is 0.95, then what is relative lowering vapour pressure of
solution. pls fast will mark as brainliest
Answers
Explanation:
Relative lowering of vapor pressure:
The vapor pressure of a liquid is the pressure of the vapor which is in equilibrium with that liquid. The vapor pressure of a solvent is lowered when a non-volatile solute is dissolved in it to form a solution.The reduction of vapor pressure of solvent is given as
p
1
=x.p
1
0
p
1
is vapor pressure of the solution.
p

0
is the vapor pressure of pure solvent
x is the mole fraction of solute
Relative lowering of vapor pressure is p
1
/p

0
=x
Where x is mole fraction of solute and not solvent. Statement 1 is false.
Relative lowering of vapor pressure is a colligative property.
Answer:
0.05
Explanation:
relative lowering vapour pressure is directly proportional to mole fraction of solute
given: mole fraction of solvent = 0.95
xA+ xB= 1
xA+ 0.95= 1
xA = 1-0.95
xA = 0.05
therefore relative lowering vapour pressure= 0.05
