Which of the following statements is/are correct about Raoult's law?
It is applicable only to ideal solutions
It is a special case of Henry's law
It states that the partial pressure of a component in a solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction
It is only applicable to dilute solutions
Raoult's law is applicable to both ideal and non-ideal solutions. It states that the partial pressure of a component in a solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction in the solution.
Where is the partial pressure of the component in the solution,
is the mole fraction of the component in the solution.
Henry's law is a special case of Raoult's law, which is applicable only to dilute solutions of gases. It states that the partial pressure of a gas in a solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction in the solution. However, Raoult's law is applicable to both gases and liquids, and is not limited to dilute solutions
