Solution

The correct option is A 0.325
Molar mass of CHCl3=119.5 g/mole

Molar mass of CH2Cl2=85 g/mole

Moles of CHCl3=11.95119.5=0.1 mole

Moles of CH2Cl2=8.585=0.1 moles

Mole fraction of CHCl3=0.10.2=0.5 mole

Mole fraction of CH2Cl2=0.10.2=0.5 mole

Given:

Vapour pressure of CHCl3=200 mmHg=0.263 atm

Vapour pressure of CH2Cl2=415 mmHg=0.546 atm

[1 atm=760 mmHg]

Pabove solution=Mole fraction of CHCl3×vapour pressure of CHCl3+Mole fraction of CH2Cl2×vapour pressure of CH2Cl2

=0.5×0.263+0.5×0.546

=0.4045

Mole fraction of CHCl3 in vapour form=0.13150.4045=0.325
