Which of the following regarding the vapor pressure of a solution containing a nonvolatile solute is NOT correct? A. The amount by which the vapor pressure of the solution is reduced reflects the mole fraction of the solute in the solution. B. The presence of a nonvolatile solute reduces the mole fraction of the pure solvent. C. The condensation rates of the pure solvent and the solution are probably about equal in a closed container. D. The evaporation rate of the pure solvent in an open container is higher than that of the solution. E. Raoult's law predicts that the solution containing a solute that experiences strong solute-solvent attractions will have lower vapor pressure than an ideal solution.
