NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12

A diagram shows a plot of vapour pressure versus mole fraction for an ideal solution at constant temperature. The plot has three lines: two dashed lines labeled I and II, and a solid line labeled III. Which component's partial pressure is represented by line II?

Question diagram
A

Component 1, the less volatile component

B

Component 2, the more volatile component

C

The total vapour pressure of the solution

D

The equilibrium mole fraction of component 1

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

In the plot, line II represents the partial pressure of the more volatile component, which is component 2, as it is directly proportional to its mole fraction (x2).
