two liquids having vapour pressure P1 and P2 in pure state in the ratio of 2:1 are mixed in the molar ratio of 1:2 . the ratio of their moles in vapour state would be
1) 1 :1
2) 1 :2
3) 2:1
4) 3:2
Vapour pressure of liquid 1, P1 = 2units
Vapour pressure of liquid 2, P2 = 1unit
Moles of liquid 1 = 1
Moles of liquid 2 = 2
Mole fraction of liquid 1 = 1/3
Mole fraction of liquid 2 = 2/3
Using Raoult's law:
Partial pressure of liquid 1 = Vapour pressure of liquid 1 mole freaction of liquid 1
Partial pressure of liquid 1 = 2 (1/3) = 2/3
Partial pressure of liquid 2 = Vapour pressure of liquid 2 mole freaction of liquid 2
Partial pressure of liquid 2 = 1(2/3) = 2/3
Total pressure p = partial pressure of 1 + partial pressure of 2 =
Mole fraction of liquid 1 in vapour phase =
Mole fraction of liquid 2 in vapour phase =
Ratio of moles = 1:1
Hence correct option is (1).
Vapour pressure of liquid 2, P2 = 1unit
