Options:
  • A 0.99P1o
  • B 0.1P1o
  • C 0.91P1o

The correct answer is: 0.99P1o
The total vapour pressure of a solution in this case only depends on vapour pressure of water as anhydrous oxalic acid is a non-volatile compound.
Vapour pressure of solution = vapour pressure of
Water Pw
According to Raoult’s law
Number of moles of oxalic acid = 990=0.1 moles
        xw=9.99.9+0.1=0.99
             Ps=Pw=0.99×P1o
