Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. ... This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules.

A dilute solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride behaves as an ideal-dilute solution. The vapour pressure of pure CCl4 is 33
ANEK [815]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     Vapour pressure of pure CCl_{4} = 33.85 Torr

         Temperature = 298 K

      Mole fraction of Br_{2} = 122.36 torr

Therefore, calculate the vapor pressure of Br_{2} as follows.      

     Vapour pressure of Br_{2} = mole fraction of Br_{2} x K of Br_{2}

                                    = 0.050 x 122.36 Torr

                                   = 6.118 Torr

So, vapor pressure of Br_{2} is 6.118 Torr .

Now, calculate the vapor pressure of carbon tetrachloride as follows.

     Vapour pressure of CCl_{4} = mole fraction of CCl_{4} x Pressure of CCl_{4}

                                     = (1 - 0.050) × 33.85 Torr

                                     = 32.1575 Torr

So, vapor pressure of CCl_{4} is 32.1575 Torr  .

Hence, the total pressure will be as follows.

                         = 6.118 Torr + 32.1575 Torr

                         = 38.2755 Torr

Therefore, composition of CCl_{4} = \frac{32.1575 Torr}{38.2755 Torr}

                         = 0.8405

Composition of CCl_{4} is 0.8405 .

And, composition of Br_{2} = \frac{6.118 Torr}{38.2755 Torr}

                                                  = 0.1598

Composition of Br_{2} is 0.1598 .
