Calculate the vapour pressure of pure volatile liquid $B$ $(P_B^o)$ at a given temperature if the mole fraction of liquid $B$ $(x_B)$ is $0.4$ and the vapour pressure of pure volatile liquid $A$ $(P_A^o)$ is $400 \ mm \ Hg$. The total vapour pressure of the solution is $P_{total} = 600 \ mm \ Hg$. (in $mm \ Hg$)

  • A

  • B
    $800$
  • C
