At 
, the vapour pressure of a solution containing 
mole of 
-hexane and 
moles of 
-heptane is 
of 
. At the same temperature, if one more mole of 
-heptane is added to this solution, the vapour pressure of the solution increases by 
of 
. What is the vapour pressure in 
of 
-heptane in its pure state
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
600
(600)
If 
and 
are the mole fraction and vapour pressure of 
-hexane in solution 
and 
are themole fraction and vapour pressure of 
-heptane in solution then
On addition of 
more mole of 
-heptane
From 
and 
,
