If a solution is prepared using the liquids mentioned in the previous question such that the mole fraction of $A$ is $0.8$,what will be the mole fraction of $A$ in the vapor phase?

Two $5 \ molal$ solutions are prepared by dissolving a non-electrolyte,non-volatile solute separately in the solvents $X$ and $Y$. The molecular weights of the solvents are $M_X$ and $M_Y$,respectively,where $M_X = \frac{3}{4} M_Y$. The relative lowering of vapour pressure of the solution in $X$ is $m$ times that of the solution in $Y$. Given that the number of moles of solute is very small in comparison to that of solvent,the value of $m$ is

$A$ solution is prepared by mixing $8.5 \ g$ of $CH_2Cl_2$ and $11.95 \ g$ of $CHCl_3$. If the vapour pressures of pure $CH_2Cl_2$ and $CHCl_3$ at $298 \ K$ are $415 \ mm \ Hg$ and $200 \ mm \ Hg$ respectively,the mole fraction of $CHCl_3$ in the vapour phase is: (Molar mass of $Cl = 35.5 \ g \ mol^{-1}$)

The relative lowering of the vapour pressure is equal to the ratio between the number of
