 PASSAGE
Lowering of vapour pressure is determined by Ostwald and Walker dynamic
method. It is based on the principle, when air is allowed to pass through a
solvent or solution, it takes up solvent vapour with it to get itself saturated
at that temperature
I and II are weighted separately before and after passing dry air. Loss in
mass of each set, gives the lowering of vapour pressure. The temperature of
air, the solution and the solvent is kept constant.
