Partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapour pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture.
psolute=Xsolute×posolute
psolvent=Xsolvent×posolvent
Ptotal=Xsolute×posolute+Xsolvent×posolvent
Given solution contains 20% by weight of liquid 'X'
Thus, weight of solute = 20 g
Weight of solvent = 80 g
