When I have an ideal mixture of 2 liquds, A and B. so the partial pressure of A is PA=PA°xA while for B, it's PB=PB°xB. So if I were to halve the volume, the PA doubles. When this happens would the pressure try to decrease itself? I would think it would decrease as in a pure substance it would decrease itself. So how would the composition of the gases change? Would they remain the same such that both gaseous A and B return into solution such that their mole fraction remains the same?
Then when the solution is heated, how would the composition change? PA° increases and so does PA. But I'm not too sure how xA changes. I'm thinking it would remain the same as both liquids A and B would turn into a vapour so their mole fractions remain the same. Is this correct?
Thanks :)
