Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data

The temperature is T=25oC

The partial pressure of the benzene is p1=93.4 torr

The partial pressure of the toluene is p2=26.9 torr

The mass of the benzene is m1=57.0 g

The mass of the toluene is m2=79.0 g

As per the law of partial pressure, the summation of the partial pressure is equal to the total pressure on the walls of the container.

This also follows the conservation of mass.

let p be the partial pressure of the solution.
