Question

Given that the total pressure over a solution of benzene and toluene is 100.0 Torr, calculate the mole fraction of benzene in the liquid and the vapor phases. (Take P°tol = 59.2 Torr and P°benz = 183 Torr.)

Answer: xbenz = 0.329; ybenz = 0.602

Expert Solution
Step 1

Total  pressure over a solution of benzene and toluene = 100 torr

Pressure of benzene in pure state = 183 torr

Pressure of toluene in pure state = 59.2 torr
