(a) Let p1, p2 = Partial vapour pressure of two volatile components 1 and 2 of a mixture
= Vapour pressure of pure components 1 and 2
x1, x2 = Mole fractions of the components 1 and 2
ptotal = Total vapour pressure of the mixture then Raoult’s law can be stated as: For a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of each component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction.
That is, for component 1,
p1 x1
And, p1 = x1
For component 2,
P2 = x2
According to Dalton’s law of partial pressures,
The plot of vapour pressure and mole fraction of an ideal solution at constant temperature is shown below.
Raoult’s Law as a Special Case of Henry’s Law
According to Raoult’s law, the vapour pressure of a volatile component in a given solution is p1 = x1
According to Henry’s law, the partial vapour pressure of a gas (the component is so volatile that it exists as gas) in a liquid is
p = KH x
It can be observed that in both the equations, the partial vapour pressure of the volatile component varies directly with its mole fraction. Only the proportionality constants KH and are different. Thus, Raoult’s law becomes a special case of Henry’s law in which KH is equal to .
