Raoult's law applies to the___________________?
Correct answer: A. Solvents
- A. Solvents
- B. Non-ideal solution only
- C. Non-volatile solute
- D. All liquid solutions
Explanation
Raoult's law relates the partial pressure of a volatile component to its liquid-phase mole fraction and is normally applied to the solvent or other volatile components. It is not valid for all solutions, especially strongly non-ideal ones.
