Vapor pressure : Pressure exerted by the vapors on the surface of the liquid is called vapor pressure
The relationship between solution vapor pressure and solvent vapor pressure is given by RAOULT’S LAW
RAOULT’S LAW
The vapor pressure of a solvent over a solution (PA) is given by vapor pressure of the pure solvent (Po A) times mole fraction of
the solute in the solution.
PA = PAo X A
PA = P o (1-X )
