5. Raoult's law states that 'the equilibrium vapor pressure that is exerted by a component in a solution is proportional to the mole fraction of that component'. This generalisation is based on the assumption that the
Options
A. sizes of the component molecules are approximately equal.
B. attractive forces between like and unlike molecules are approximately equal.
C. component molecules are non-polar and no chemical combination or molecular association between unlike molecules takes place in the formation of the solution.
8. The vapor pressure of the solvent decreased by 10 mm Hg, when a non-volatile solute was added to the solvent. The mole fraction of the solute in the solution is 0.2. What should be the mole fraction of the solvent, if the decrease in vapor pressure of the solvent is required to be 20 mm Hg.?
