A solution of two volatile liquids has vapor pressures of 400 mm Hg and 600 mm Hg for pure components. If the vapor pres

Raoult’s law: P = P₁⁰ · x₁ + P₂⁰ · (1 - x₁) . P = 400 × 0.6 + 600 × 0.4 = 240 + 240 = 480 mm Hg . Actual = 520 mm Hg ≠ 480 mm Hg, so it does not obey Raoult’s law.

A solution of two volatile liquids has vapor pressures of 600 mm Hg and 800 mm Hg. If the total vapor pressure is 680 mm

Liquid phase: 680 = 600 x₁ + 800 (1 - x₁) . 680 = 600 x₁ + 800 - 800 x₁ , 200 x₁ = 120 , x₁ = 0.6 , x₂ = 0.4 . Vapor phase: y₁ = (600 × 0.6/680) ≈ 0.5294 .

The vapor pressure of a solvent decreases from 50 mm Hg to 47 mm Hg when a non-volatile solute is added. If an additiona

(p⁰ - p/p⁰) = xsolute . Initial: (50 - 47/50) = 0.06 . Doubling molality doubles xsolute (approximately for dilute solutions), so new xsolute = 0.12 . New p = p⁰ (1 - xsolute) = 50 (1 - 0.12) = 44 mm Hg .
