Q72 / 200 · NEET 2021 · Chemistry

The correct option for the value of vapour pressure of a solution at 45ºC with benzene to octane in molar ratio 3 : 2 is:

[At 45°C vapour pressure of benzene is 280 mm Hg and that of octane is 420 mm Hg. Assume Ideal gas]

  • A
    160 mm of Hg
  • B
    168 mm of Hg
  • Correct answer
    C
    336 mm of Hg
  • D
    350 mm of Hg

Solution

Given: PB°=280 mm of Hg, Po°=420 mm of Hg

XB=35 and Xo=25

We know that according to Raoult's Law

PT=XBPB°+XoPo°=35×280+25×420=336 mm of Hg

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
