In a binary solution of $A$ and $B$,the vapor pressure of pure $A$ is less than the vapor pressure of pure $B$. If $X_A$ is the mole fraction of $A$ in the liquid phase and $Y_A$ is the mole fraction of $A$ in the vapor phase,then ..........

  • A
    $X_A = Y_A$
  • B
    $X_A > Y_A$
  • C
    $X_A < Y_A$
  • D
