Consider an ideal binary solution containing 50% of the total moles from component A and 50% of the total moles from component B. Additional moles of component A are then added, such that the mole fraction of component B is decreased to 25%. How has the partial pressure of the vapor of A in equilibrium with the solution been affected? O It has decreased by 25% It has decreased by 50% It has increased by 25% O It has increased by 50% O None of the above
