Interpretation:
The vapor pressure of pure A and pure B is to be calculated from the given moles of A and B and total vapour pressure.
Concept Introduction:
The pressure exerted by a solvent is equal to the product of that solvent’s mole fraction and the pressure exerted by the pure solvent. It is expressed as
Here,
The total pressure is calculated by the addition of partial pressure of A and partial pressure of B. It is expressed as
or
The mole fraction of compound can be calculated as
