Raoult's law
/rah oohlz"/, Physical Chem.
the principle that the fraction by which the vapor pressure of a solvent is lowered by the addition of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolytic solute is equal to the mole fraction of the solute in the solution.
[1890-95; named after François Raoult (1830-1901), French chemist and physicist]
