Question: In a binary solution of A and B, if the vapor pressure of A is 80 mmHg and that of B is 40 mmHg, what is the total vapor pressure when both are present?
Options:
Correct Answer: 100 mmHg
Solution:
The total vapor pressure is the sum of the partial pressures: P_total = P_A + P_B = 80 mmHg + 40 mmHg = 120 mmHg.
