question mark

The vapour pressure of pure liquids A and B are 450 and 700 mm Hg respectively, at 350 K . Find out the composition of the liquid mixture if total vapour pressure is 600 mm Hg. Also find the composition of the vapour phase.

Given that
Vapour pressure of pure liquid A, PoA= 450 mm of Hg
Vapour pressure of pure liquid A, PoA= 700 mm of Hg
Total vapour pressure, ptotal= 600 mm of Hg
Use the formula of Raoult’s law

600 = (450 – 700) XA+ 700
250 XA= 100
XA= 100/250 = 0.4
Use formula
XB= 1 - XA
Plug the values we get
XB= 1 − 0.4 = 0.6
use formula
PA= PoA× XA= 450 × 0.4= 180 mm of Hg
PB= PoB× XB= 700 × 0.6 = 420 mm of Hg
Now, in the vapour phase:
Mole fraction of liquid A
= 180 /(180+ 420))= 0.30
Mole fraction of liquid B, =1 – 0 .30 = 0.70
