Correct option is (4) Po = \(\frac{P}{1-S}\)
As we know, relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by--
\(\frac{P^o-P_1}{P^o}=x\)----(1)
where,
Po - P1 = lowering in vapour pressure
Po = Vapour pressure of pure solvent
x = mole fraction of solute
we have given,
lowering of vapour pressure = Po - P1 = P
mole fraction of solvent = 'S'
∴ mole fraction of solute = 1 - S
putting these values in equation (1)
\(\frac{P}{P^o}=1-S
\)
Po = \(\frac{P}{1-S}\)
Po = \(\frac{P}{1-S}\)
Therefore, vapour pressure of pure solvent will be
Po = \(\frac{P}{1-S}\)
