Expert Solution
Step 1

As per Raoult's law, the total vapour pressure of the solution at any temperature is equal to the mole fraction of components multiplied by the pure vapour pressure of components. 

If XA and XB are the mole fraction and P0A and P0B are the mole fraction and pure vapour pressures of two components in a solution respectively, then total vapour pressure of solution ( Ptotal ) is given by, 

Ptotal  =  XA. P0A  +  XB. P0B
