The vapour pressure of solvent decreases by 5.4 torr when a non volatile solute is added.In this silution ,mole fraction of solute is 0.2. What would be mole fraction of the solvent if decreses in vapour pressure is 16.2 torr?

According to Raoult's law:

The relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to the mole fraction of solute.

So, (p - p₀)/p = n/ (n + N)

or Δp / p = n/ (n + N)

So, 5.4 / p = 0.2

p = 27 torr

For other solution of same solvent,

Δp = 16.2 torr

16.2 / 27 = n/ (n + N)

0.6 = n/ (n + N)

Taking n + N = 1, to calculate mole fraction,

0.6 is the mole fraction of solvent. And 0.4 is the mole fraction of solute.
