A solution is made by mixing one mole of volatile liquid A with 3 moles of volatile liquid B. The vapour pressure of pure A is 200 mm Hg and that of the solution is 500 mm Hg. The vapour pressure of pure B and the least volatile component of the solution, respectively, are

Answer: (2)

Solution

ptotal = p°A·xA + p°B·xB. 500 = 200(1/4) + p°B(3/4), giving p°B=600. A is least volatile as p°A=200<p°B.
