Mole fraction of a component in the ideal solution (Given mole fraction, total vapor pressure and partial pressure)
Formula
xi
the mole fraction of the component i in the ideal solution
yi
the mole fraction of the component i in the vapor
ptotal
the total vapor pressure of the solution
pieqm
the partial pressure of the component i in the ideal solution
Formula description
An ideal solution can be said to follow Raoult's Law but it must be kept in mind that in the strict sense ideal solutions do not exist. For a solution to be ideal we must assume that it does not matter whether a molecule A has another A as neighbor or a B molecule.
