Detailed Solution

Given   = V.P of pure solvent      Ps= V.P of a solution of non-volatile solute  XA= mole fraction of solute  XB = mole fraction of solventRaoult's law states that " V.P of a solvent in a solution of non-volatile solute isdirectly proportional to its mole fraction in the solution"          For a pure solvent  substitute the value of K in eq (1)
