JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 8th April Morning Slot - No. 21)

The vapour pressures of pure liquids A and B are 400 and 600 mmHg, respectively at 298 K on mixing the two liquids, the sum of their initial volume is equal ot the volume of the final mixture. The mole fraction of liquid B is 0.5 in the mixture, The vapour pressure of the final solution, the mole fractions of components A and B in vapour phase, respectively are :
500 mmHg. 0.5,0.5
500 mmHg, 0.4, 0.6
450 mmHg, 0.4,0.6
450 mmHg.0.5,0.5

Explanation

Given

$$P_A^0$$ = 400 mm of Hg

$$P_B^0$$ = 600 mm of Hg

Mole fraction of B (xB) in liquid phase = 0.5

Mole fraction of A (xA) in liquid phase = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Pressure of solution :

Ps = xA$$P_A^0$$ + xB$$P_B^0$$

= 0.5 $$ \times $$ 400 + 0.5 $$ \times $$ 600

= 500 mm of Hg

From Roult's law we know,

Partial pressure of A (PA) = xA$$P_A^0$$ ......(1)

From Dalton'sRoult's law we know,

Partial pressure of A (PA) = yAPs ........(2)

here yA = mole fraction of A in vapour phase

From (1) and (2) we can write,

xA$$P_A^0$$ = yAPs

$$ \Rightarrow $$ yA = $${{{x_A}P_A^0} \over {{P_s}}}$$ = $${{0.5 \times 400} \over {500}}$$ = 0.4

Mole fraction of A in vapour phase = 0.4

$$ \therefore $$ mole fraction of B in vapour phase = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
