JEE Main 2022 · 28 Jun · Shift 1, Chemistry question 85

The vapour pressures of two volatile liquids A and B at 25°C are 50 Torr and 100 Torr, respectively. If the liquid mixture contains 0.3 mole fraction of A, then the mole fraction of liquid B in the vapour phase is x17\frac x{17}. The value of xx is ______.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 14

Partial pressures. pA=0.3×50=15p_A=0.3\times50=15 Torr, pB=0.7×100=70p_B=0.7\times100=70 Torr.

Vapour. yB=7085=1417y_B=\frac{70}{85}=\frac{14}{17}.

Answer: 14
