Detailed Solution

The relative reduction of vapour pressure is expressed as follows: ΔPP0=P0PP0=X2.....(1)

Here, ΔPP0 and P0PP0 denotes a relative decrease in vapour pressure, while X2 denotes the solute's molecular weight.

But the solute's mole fraction

X2=n2n1+n2=W2M2W2M2+W1M1 .....(2)

Here, W1 and M1 represent the mass and molar mass of the solvent, while W2 and M2 represent the mass and molar mass of the solute. The solute and solvent's respective molecular weights are n1 and n2, respectively.

for weak solutions n1>>n2

Therefore, n2 can be disregarded in favour of n1.
Equation (2) consequently becomes

X2=n2n1=W2M2W1M1  ......(3)

the results of equations (1) and (3)

ΔPP0=P0PP0=W2M2W1M1

Here, to compute molar mass of a solute from the relative lowering of vapour pressure of a solvent is where the various symbols have their usual meanings M2=m2/m1/M1Δp1/p1.
