At 25°C, liquids A and B create an ideal solution for all proportions of A and B. Two mixtures with mole fractions of A as 0.25 and 0.50 exhibit total vapor pressures of 0.3 bar and 0.4 bar, respectively. Determine the vapor pressure of pure liquid B in bar.

  1. 0.1
  2. 0.2
  3. 0.3
  4. 0.4

Correct answer: 0.2

Solution

For an ideal solution, the total vapor pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of A and B. Using Raoult's law and the given mole fractions, the equations can be solved to find the vapor pressure of pure B as 0.2 bar.
