Raoult's law
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008404
A principle describing the partial vapor pressure of a solvent above a solution, which is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent in the solution and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent. This relationship holds true for ideal solutions where intermolecular forces between different components are similar to those between identical components. Deviations from Raoult's law indicate non-ideal behavior, often due to strong solute-solvent interactions.
