An aqueous solution is 1 molal in Which change will cause the vapour pressure of

An aqueous solution is 1 molal in \( K I \) Which change will cause the vapour pressure of the solution to increase?

  • A. Addition of \( N a C l \)
  • B. Addition of \( N a_{2} S O_{4} \)
  • C. Addition of 1 molal \( K I \)
  • D. Addition of water

Step-by-step solution

Adding water increases the mole fraction of solvent (water), which raises the vapor pressure according to Raoult's law. Adding solutes (NaCl, Na2SO4, or additional KI) would further lower the vapor pressure.
