Solution

The correct option is D The vapour pressure above the condenstate will be 920 mm of Hg at same temparature
Let the mole of A & B be a & b respectively in the initial mixture.
Initial moles of A in the solution = Final moles of A in the residue +Moles of A in condensate
a=0.3×(a+b)3+0.6×2(a+b)3
a=0.1a+0.1b+0.4a+0.4b
a=0.1a+0.1b+0.4a+0.4b
a=0.5a+0.5b
0.5a=0.5b
a=b
Moles of A and B in the initial mixture are equal
P=PoAχA+PobχB
900=PoA12+PoB12
1800=PoA+PoB (1)
In residue mole fraction for A and B be χ/A=0.3, χ/B=0.7 respectively.
P/=PoAχ/A+PoBχ/B
860=PoA(0.3)+PoB(0.7)
860=0.3PoA+0.7PoB (2)
On solving (1) and (2) we get,
PoA=1000 nm_, PoB=800 nm
In condensate mole fractions are, X′′A=0.6, X′′B=0.4
Therefore, P′′=PoAX′′A+PoAX′′A+
P′′=1000×0.6+800×0.4=920 m
In condensate mole fraction of A is more than B, X′′A>X′′B
Therefore, the first vapours formed will have more moles of A as compared to moles of B
