According to Raoult's law for a non-volatile solute,which of the following is correct?

  • A
    The decrease in vapor pressure is equal to the mole fraction of the solute.
  • B
    The relative lowering of vapor pressure is equal to the mole fraction of the solute.
  • C
    The vapor pressure of the solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent.
  • D
