Observe the given graph and identify the correct statement for the solution.

Component 2 is more volatile than component 1.

A plot of p₁ or p₂ versus the mole fractions x₁ and x₂ for a solution gives a linear plot. These lines (I and II) pass through the points for which x₁ and x₂ are equal to unity. Similarly, the plot (line III) of p_total versus x₂ is also linear. The minimum value of p_total is p⁰₁ and the maximum value is p⁰₂, assuming that component 1 is less volatile than component 2, i.e., p⁰₁ < p⁰₂.
