Which quantity is represented by the relative lowering in vapour pressure? |
Mole fraction of solute Mole fraction of solvent Mass fraction of solute None of these |
Mole fraction of solute |
In a solution containing non volatile solute, the lowering of the vapour pressure depends on the mole fraction of solute. \(\frac{P0-P}{P0}\) = XB where P0 is vapour pressure of pure solvent P is vapour pressure of solution and xB is mole fraction of solute. |
