Chemistry The Science in Context
Figure P11.1 shows a particle-level view of a sealed container partially filled with a solution that has two components: $X$ (blue spheres) and $Y$ (red spheres). Which of the following statements about substances $X$ and $Y$ are true?
a. $X$ is the solvent in this solution.
b. Pure $Y$ is a volatile liquid.
c. If $Y$ were not present, there would be fewer X particles in the gas above the liquid solution.
d. The presence of $Y$ increases the vapor pressure of $X$.
