If P0 and PS are the V.P. of solvent and its solution respectively and N1 and N2 are the mole fraction of solvent and solute respectively then:
If P0 and PS are the V.P. of solvent and its solution respectively and N1 and N2 are the mole fraction of solvent and solute respectively then,
Relative lowering vapour pressure,
P0−PS=P0N2
As per Raoult's Law,
and PS=P0N1=P0(1−N2)
