Raoult's Law Calculator
Raoult's law is named after the French chemist François-Marie Raoult, who first proposed it in 1887. It
states that the partial vapor pressure of a component in a mixture is equal to the vapor pressure of the
pure component multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture. Raoult’s law assumes that the
component obeys ideal gas behavior and there are no intermolecular interactions between the solute
and solvent molecules. It only works for ideal solutions and doesn’t apply to solutions that exhibit
significant deviations from ideal behavior.
Equation
vapor pressure of solution | = | moles of solute moles of solvent × partial pressure of pure solvent |
