**Educational Content: Gas-Liquid Equilibrium involving Nitrogen, Benzene, and Toluene**

### Problem Statement:
A gas containing nitrogen, benzene, and toluene is in equilibrium with a liquid at 2.0 atm (1520 mmHg) pressure and 85°C. The liquid consists of 35 mol% benzene (C₆H₆) and 65 mol% toluene (C₇H₈). Estimate the gas composition using Raoult's law and assuming ideal gas behavior. The Antoine equations for benzene and toluene are:

- \( \log_{10}(P^o_{benzene}) = 6.8972 - \frac{1203.531}{T + 219.888} \)
- \( \log_{10}(P^o_{toluene}) = 6.9580 - \frac{1346.773}{T + 219.693} \)

### Given Data:
- \(B =\) Benzene
- \(T =\) Toluene

**Temperature (\(T\)):** 85°C  
**Pressure (\(P\)):** 2.00 atm = 1520 mmHg

### Calculations:

#### Vapor Pressure of Each Component

**For Benzene:**
1. Antoine equation: 
   \[
   \log_{10}(P^o_{B}) = 6.8972 - \frac{1203.531}{85 + 219.888}
   \]
2. Solving gives:
   \[
   \log_{10}(P^o_{B}) = 2.9497
   \]
3. Vapor pressure \(P^o_{B} = 890 \text{ mmHg}\)

**For Toluene:**
1. Antoine equation:
   \[
   \log_{10}(P^o_{T}) = 6.95805 - \frac{1346.773}{85 + 219.693}
   \]
2. Solving gives:
   \[
   \log_{10}(P^o_{T}) = 2.5379
   \]
3. Vapor pressure \(P^o_{T} = 345.10 \text{ mmHg}\)

#### Mole Fraction:

**In the liquid phase:**
- Benzene (B): \( X_B = \frac{
