Question
At 25°C a solution consists of 0.450 mole of pentane, C5H12, and 0.250 mole of cyclopentane, C5H10. What is the mole fraction of cyclopentane in the vapor that is in equilibrium with this solution? The vapor pressure of the pure liquids at 25°C are 451 torr for pentane and 321 torr for cyclopentane. Assume that the solution is an ideal solution.
