What is Raoult’s Law?
Raoult’s law states that a solvent’s partial vapour pressure in a solution (or mixture) is equal or identical to the vapour pressure of the pure solvent multiplied by its mole fraction in the solution.
Mathematically, Raoult’s law equation is written as;
Psolution = ΧsolventP0solvent
Where,
Psolution = vapour pressure of the solution
Χsolvent = mole fraction of the solvent
P0solvent = vapour pressure of the pure solvent
We will further understand the principle behind the law by looking at the example below.
Consider a solution of volatile liquids A and B in a container. Because A and B are both volatile, there would be both particles of A and B in the vapour phase.
Hence, the vapour particles of both A and B exert partial pressure which contributes to the total pressure above the solution.
Solution of volatile liquids A and B
Raoult’s Law further states that at equilibrium,
{{P}_{A}}=P_{A}^{{}^\circ }{{x}_{A}},{{P}_{B}}=P_{B}^{{}^\circ }{{x}_{B}}P

What is the Importance of Raoult’s law?
Assume that we have a closed container filled with a volatile liquid A. After some time, due to evaporation, vapour particles of A will start to form. Then as time passes, the vapour particles of A will be in dynamic equilibrium with the liquid particles (on the surface). The pressure exerted by the vapour particles of A at any particular temperature is called the vapour pressure of A at that temperature.
Vapour pressure is exhibited by all solids and liquids and depends only on the type of liquid and temperature.
Now imagine we are adding another liquid B (solute) to this container. This will result in B particles occupying the space between A particles on the surface of the solution.
For any given liquid there are a fraction of molecules on the surface which will have sufficient energy to escape to the vapour phase.
Since now we have a lesser number of A particles on the surface, the number of vapour particles of A in the vapour phase will be lesser. This will result in lower vapour pressure of A.
Now if we assume that B is volatile as well, we will have lesser number of B particles in the vapour phase as compared to pure liquid B.
This new pressure (partial pressure) of each (A and B) is given by Raoult’s law and depends on the concentration of each component in the liquid phase.

From Raoult’s law it is evident that as the mole fraction of a component reduces, its partial pressure also reduces in the vapour phase.
The graphs below show pressure is the mole fraction for A and B.
Combining both the graphs.
In the above diagram, we have also added the graph for the total vapour pressure of solution i.e. PA + PB.
As far as the application of the law goes, it is also useful in calculating the molecular mass of an unknown solute.
Raoult’s Law and its Relationship with Other Laws
Raoult’s law is also quite similar to the ideal gas law. The only exception of Raoult’s law is that it applies to solutions. If you have read about the ideal gas law we know that it assumes the ideal behaviour of gases in which the intermolecular forces that are present between dissimilar molecules is zero or non-existent. Meanwhile, Raoult’s law assumes that the intermolecular forces that exist between different molecules and similar molecules are equal.
Raoult’s law can also be applied to non-ideal solutions. However, this is done by incorporating several factors where we have to consider the interactions between molecules of different substances.
If we take a perfectly ideal system consisting of an ideal liquid and ideal vapour we can further derive a very useful equation by combining Raoult’s law and Dalton’s Law.
x_{i}=\frac{yi Ptotal}{P_{i}^{*}}x

Here,
xi = mole fraction of component i in the solution,
yi = mole fraction in the gas phase.
What we can deduce from this equation is that when we have an ideal solution with pure components each of them will have a different vapour pressure. Furthermore, in the gas phase, the component will have a higher pure vapour pressure while the solution will have a lower pure vapour pressure.
