Raoult's Law for solid-liquid solution is stated as such in my books that it is applicable for all non-volatile solutes.

However different solutes must have different attractive or repulsive forces and in such a case, all of them will probably hamper vaporisation in different ways.

Then how come can we simply define the law as: $$P_{Vapor}=P_{Vapour}^0\chi_{solvent}$$ where $$\chi_{solute}+\chi_{solvent}=1$$ Here the equations do not provide any information about the solute.

Is the law valid for only a class of solutes?
