Q.

Two liquids X and  Y form an ideal solution. The mixture has a vapour pressure of 400 mm at 300 K when mixed in the molar ratio of 1:1 and a vapour pressure of 350 mm when mixed in the molar ratio of 1:2 at the same temperature. The vapour pressures of the two pure liquids X and Y respectively are

Detailed Solution

We know that 

The molar ratio of 1:1 means xX=xY=0.5

And From Raoult's law,

We know that PX=px°xx ,PY=pY°xY

Now, From Dalton’s Law,

Ptotal =xxpx°+xYpY°

or px°+py=  800...(i)

The molar ratio of 1: 2 means, xx=13,xY=23

Therefore,

350=13px+  23pY°

or px°+2p°=1050   (ii)

Eqn (ii) - Eqn (i) gives pY=  250 mm

Putting in (i), we get px=  550 mm

Hence, the correct option is (d).
