What is Raoult's law?
'''Raoult's law''' states that the vapour [[pressure]] of a binary [[solution]] containing a '''non-[[volatile]]''' solute is directly related to the [[mole fraction]] of [[solvent]] (i.e. volatile) in the solution. Also, it states that the vapour [[pressure]] of each component in a binary solution containing '''[[volatile]]''' components is directly related to its respective [[mole fraction]] in the solution. Relative going-down of vapour pressure is equal to mole fraction of non volatile and non-electrolytic solute. This is known as Raoult's law.
