According to Raoult's law, for a component of an ideal binary solution the partial vapour pressure is

  1. Aequal to its mole fraction in the vapour multiplied by the total pressure of the pure component
  2. Binversely proportional to its mole fraction in the liquid
  3. Cequal to the vapour pressure of the pure component divided by its mole fraction
  4. Dequal to its mole fraction in the liquid multiplied by the vapour pressure of the pure component

Answer: D

Raoult's law states , with the mole fraction in the liquid phase and the vapour pressure of pure . The other options either use the wrong phase or invert the proportionality.
