Options:
  • A The partial vapor pressure is inversely proportional to the mole fraction.
  • B The partial vapor pressure is directly proportional to the mole fraction.
  • C The partial vapor pressure is unrelated to the mole fraction.
  • D The partial vapor pressure is a constant value for all components.

The correct answer is: The partial vapor pressure is directly proportional to the mole fraction.
Raoult's law states that for a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapor pressure of each component of the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction present in the solution.
