Solution
Part-1
For a binary solution having two components such as CHCl3 and CH2Cl2 having volatile nature. The total pressure for such binary system is given as
p = X1p10+ X2p20
p1 = partial pressure of CHCl3
p2 = partial pressure of CH2Cl2
p = Total vapor pressure
Part-II
For a binary system containing NaCl as non-volatile solute in a solution then the partial pressure term only considered for vaporisable component according to Raoults law. Hence the expression for total pressure or a binary system is reduced to
