Two open beakers one containing a solvent and the other containing a mixture of that solvent with a non voltatile solute are together selated in a container. Over time :
Solution
There will be lowering in vapour pressure for
solution containing non-volatile solute. So,
there will be transfer of solvent molecules
from pure solvent to solution and hence,
volume of beaker containing solvent (pure) will
decrease and volume of beaker containing
solution will increase.
