Equal amount of solute are dissloved in equal amount of two solvents A and B. The realative lowering of vapour pressure for the solution of A has twice the relative lowering of vapour pressure for solution of B. If MA and MB are molar mass of solvent A and B respectively, then for dilute solution of A and B with solute-
A) MA=MB
B)MA=MB/2
C)MA=4MB
D)MA=2MB
The relative lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to mole fraction of solute in solution.
Suppose the relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution with solvent A is PA.
The relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution with solvent B is PB
The mole fraction of solute in solvent A is XA
Mole fraction of solute in solution B is XB
PA = kXA
PB = kXB
Given that, PA = 2PB
So, kXA = 2KXB
Or, XA = 2 XB ........(1)
XA =
XB =
Let the weight of solute and molar mass is 1
XA = MA/WA
XB = MB/WB
Putting the value of XA and XB in equation 1 we get
MA/WA = 2 MB/WB
Given that WA is equal to WB
therefore MA = 2MB
Option D is correct.
