Question

the lowering of vapour pressure of an aqueous solution of fructose can be expressed as.?​

Answer 1

Answer:

As described in the chapter on liquids and solids, the equilibrium vapor pressure of a liquid is the pressure exerted by its gaseous phase when vaporization and condensation are occurring at equal rates:

                                             liquid ⇋ gas

 

Dissolving a nonvolatile substance in a volatile liquid results in a lowering of the liquid’s vapor pressure. This phenomenon can be rationalized by considering the effect of added solute molecules on the liquid’s vaporization and condensation processes.

please mark me brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

The fructose is a non electrolyte  solute,it occupies the surface of water and so less no of water molecules go into vapour phase thus it lowering the vapour pressure of an aqueous solution.
