Answer : The mole fraction of the non-volatile solute in the solution is 0.195

Explanation :

According to the relative lowering of vapor pressure, the vapor pressure of a component at a given temperature is equal to the mole fraction of that component of the solution multiplied by the vapor pressure of that component in the pure state.

Formula used :

\frac{\Delta p}{p^o}=X_B

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=X_B

where,

p^o = vapor pressure of the pure solvent (acetone)  = 266 torr

p_s = vapor pressure of the solution = 214 torr

X_B = mole fraction of solute  = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=X_B

\frac{266-214}{266}=X_B

X_B=0.195

Therefore, the mole fraction of the non-volatile solute in the solution is 0.195
