Vapour pressure of a solvent containing non-volatile solute is :

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Less than the vapour pressure of solvent

The vapor pressure of a solvent is lowered when a non-volatile solute is added, making option B the correct answer. This is due to fewer solvent molecules being able to escape into the vapor phase.
