As we learnt in

Rault's Law -

The total vapour pressure of binary mixture of miscible liquids be having ideally is given by

P_{T}= P_{A}^{0}x_{A}+P_{B}^{0}x_{B}

Where x_{A}  and  x_{B} are mole fraction of A and B in liquid phase.

 

 

- wherein

P_{A}^{0}  and P_{B}^{0} are vapour pressures of pure liquids.

 

 

According to Raoult's law ,P_{B}= P^{0}_{B}X_{B} \; \; \; \; \; \; P^{0}_{B}= 75\: torr

X_{B}= \frac{78/78}{\left ( 78/78 \right )+\left ( 46/92 \right )}= \frac{1}{1+0.5}= \frac{1}{1.5}

P_{B}= 75\times \frac{1}{1.5}= 50 \; torr

Correct option is 1.

Option 2)

25

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)

37.5

This is an incorrect option.

Option 4)
