exerts a pressure of 1.004 bar at the normal
boiling point of the solvent. What is the

Vapour pressure of water is 12.3 K Pa at 300 K.
Calculate the vapour pressure of 1 molal
solution of a non volatile solute in it.
1 molal means 1 mol of solute dissolved in
1000g of solvent.

(PA0 – PA ) / PA0 = nB / ( nA + nB)
( 12.3 K Pa – PA ) / 12.3K Pa = 1 mol / ( 55.5 mol + 1 mol )
K Pa represents Kilo Pascal
1- PA / 12.3 K Pa = 1 mol / 56.5 mol
1 – I mol /56.5 mol = PA / 12.3 K Pa
