Option: 2

Both laws deal with the partial pressure of a component in a mixture
 


Option: 3

Raoult's law applies only to non-volatile solutes

 


Option: 4

Raoult's law is applicable for both volatile and non-volatile solutes. It states that the partial vapour pressure of each component in a solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction in the solution and the vapour pressure of the pure component. On the other hand, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each gas component in the mixture. Both laws are based on the assumption of ideal behaviour of components in a mixture.
