• Raoults law
• Partial pressure= mole fraction X vapour pressure
• partial pressure = vapor pressure x mole fraction in liquid phase
• Daltons law
• P total = partial pressure 1+ Partial pressure 2
• y1= partial pressure 1/Total pressure
• y2=partial pressure 2/ Total pressure
• TLV mixture= (y1+y2)/(y1/TLV1 +y2/TLV2)
• TLV 1 = y1 x TLV of mixture
• TLV 2- y2 x TLV of mixture
Learnings
• How to calculate vapour pressure of pure component
• How to calculate the partial pressure
• TLV Stell and TWA
• Raoults law
• Daltons low
• TLV for mixture of solvents
• TLV for individual solvents present in mixture
• For mixtures of vapours the individual TLVs in the mixture are
significantly reduced from the TLVs of the pure substance
