1.

Relation between partial pressure and mole fraction is stated by

Answer»

Graham's law
RAULT's law
Lc-Chatclicr
Avogadro law

Solution :According to Raoult's law "The partial PRESSURE of a volatile COMPONENT of a solution is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to its mole fraction in solution at any temperatme".
`p = P_(x)^(@)`
where, p= Partial pressure of componem
`p ^(@)=` Vapour pressure of component in pure form
x = mole fraction of component in solution.
2.

Relation between hydrolysis constant and dissociation constant are given. Which is the correct formula for MgCl_(2).

Answer»

`K_(h) = (K_(w))/(K_(a))`
