The vapour pressure of a solvent decreases by 10 mm of mercury when a non-volatile solute was added to the solvent. The mole fraction of the solute in the solution is 0.2. What should be if the decrease in vapour pressure is to be 20 mm of mercury then the mole fraction of the solvent is [CBSE PMT 1998]
Hence i.e. or
Mole fraction of solvent = 1 – 0.4 = 0.6
