Solution
The correct option is D Mole fraction of component 2 in vapour phase is 0.7 By Raoult's Law : PT=p∘1χ1+p∘2χ2
where PT is the total pressure of the solution. p∘1 is the vapour pressure of pure component 1 p∘2 is the vapour pressure of pure component 2 χ1 is the mole fraction of component 1 in liquid phase. χ2 is the mole fraction of component 2 in liquid phase.
Putting the values: 600=450χ1+700χ2600=450χ1+700(1−χ1)600=700−250χ1χ1=0.4 χ2=1−0.4=0.6
Hence option (a) is correct and (d) is incorrect.
Also, from dalton's law we can write, y1×PT=p∘1χ1
where, y1=Mole fraction of component 1 in vapour phase
Putting values: y1=450×0.4600y1=0.3y2=1−y1=0.7
Hence option (c) is correct and (b) is incorrect.
