If $P_0$ and $P_s$ are the vapour pressures of the solvent and its solution respectively,and $N_1$ and $N_2$ are the mole fractions of the solvent and solute respectively,then which of the following is correct?

  • A
    $P_s = \frac{P_0}{N_2}$
  • B
    $P_0 - P_s = P_0N_2$
  • C
    $P_s = P_0N_2$
  • D
    $\frac{P_0 - P_s}{P_s} = \frac{N_1}{N_1 + N_2}$
