Consider Fig. 17.8. Suppose that instead of having a nonvolatile solute in the solvent in one beaker, the two beakers have different volatile liquids. That is, suppose one beaker contains liquid A (Pvap 5 50 torr) and the other beaker contains liquid B (Pvap 5 100 torr). Explain what happens as time passes. How is this similar to the first case shown in the figure? How is it different?
