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)
