What is the vapor pressure of a solution in which the mole fraction of the solute is 0.200 and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent is 100.0 torr? (Assume a single nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte solute). a. 0 torr
b. 80.0 torr
c. 100.0 torr
d. 120.0 torr
e. 20.0 torr

The vapor pressure of a solution in which the mole fraction of the solute is 0.200 is 80.0 torr

Explanation:

As the relative lowering of vapor pressure is directly proportional to the amount of dissolved solute.

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be,

where,

= vapor pressure of pure solvent = 100.0 torr

= vapor pressure of solution = ?

i = Van'T Hoff factor = 1 for nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte solute

= mole fraction of solute  = 0.200  

The vapor pressure of a solution in which the mole fraction of the solute is 0.200 is 80.0 torr

b. is the answer hoped i
