๐Ÿ“˜ Vapour Pressure of Liquid Solutions

 Sure! Here's a clear, student-friendly, CBSE Class 12-style explanation of:


๐Ÿ“˜ Vapour Pressure of Liquid Solutions

(Chapter 1 – Solutions | Class 12 Chemistry – NCERT Based)


๐Ÿ’ก What is Vapour Pressure?

Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapour of a liquid when it is in dynamic equilibrium with its liquid phase at a given temperature.

๐Ÿ”น It tells us how volatile a liquid is.
๐Ÿ”น More volatile liquids → higher vapour pressure.


๐Ÿงช Vapour Pressure in Liquid Solutions

Liquid solutions can be of two main types:

1️⃣ Solutions of Liquids in Liquids

(e.g., ethanol + water, acetone + benzene)

2️⃣ Solutions of Solids in Liquids

(e.g., sugar in water, salt in water)


๐Ÿงฉ Vapour Pressure of Liquid + Liquid Solutions

In binary liquid solutions (mixture of two liquids), both components may be volatile. The total vapour pressure of the solution depends on:

  • The mole fraction of each liquid

  • The individual vapour pressures of each pure component

  • How the components interact


Raoult’s Law for Ideal Liquid Solutions

In an ideal solution, the partial vapour pressure of each component is directly proportional to its mole fraction in the solution.

๐Ÿ“˜ Formulas:

pA=xApA0andpB=xBpB0p_A = x_A \cdot p_A^0 \quad \text{and} \quad p_B = x_B \cdot p_B^0 Total Vapour Pressure:ptotal=pA+pB=xApA0+xBpB0\text{Total Vapour Pressure:} \quad p_{\text{total}} = p_A + p_B = x_A p_A^0 + x_B p_B^0

Where:

  • pA,pBp_A, p_B = partial vapour pressures

  • xA,xBx_A, x_B = mole fractions

  • pA0,pB0p_A^0, p_B^0 = vapour pressures of pure liquids A and B


⚖️ Ideal vs Non-Ideal Solutions

Type Behavior Vapour Pressure
Ideal solution Obeys Raoult’s Law exactly Linear variation with mole fraction
Non-ideal solution Deviates from Raoult’s Law Shows positive/negative deviation

๐Ÿ“Š Graphical Representation

(For ideal solutions): A straight-line graph of total vapour pressure vs mole fraction.


๐Ÿ“ Class 12 Board Tip:

  • State Raoult’s Law clearly.

  • Use the formula and mole fraction concepts correctly.

  • Remember: More volatile component = higher vapour pressure.
