JEE Main 2022 · 28 Jul · Shift 2, Chemistry question 54

A gaseous mixture of two substances A and B, under a total pressure of 0.8 atm is in equilibrium with an ideal liquid solution. The mole fraction of substance A is 0.5 in the vapour phase and 0.2 in the liquid phase. The vapour pressure of pure liquid A is ______ atm. (Nearest integer)

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 2

Raoult and Dalton. yAP=xAPA∘y_AP=x_AP_A^\circ: 0.5×0.8=0.2PA∘0.5\times0.8=0.2P_A^\circ, so PA∘=2P_A^\circ=2 atm.

Answer: 2
