Q.

The correct option for the value of vapour pressure of a solution at 45° C with benzene to octane in molar ratio 3 : 2 is

[At 45° C vapour pressure of benzene is 280 mm Hg and that of octane is 420 mm Hg. Assume ideal gas.]             [2021]

1 350 mm of Hg  
2 160 mm of Hg  
3 168 mm of Hg  
4 336 mm of Hg  

Ans.

(4)

Ptotal=pbenzenexbenzene+poctanexoctane

           =280×35+420×25=168+168

            =336 mm of Hg
