Q. A sample of air is saturated with benzene (vapour pressure $= 100 \,mmHg$ at $298 K)$ at $298 \,K$, $750 \,mmHg$ pressure. If it is isothermally compressed to one third of its initial volume, the final pressure of the system is

Solutions

Solution:

Fixed $P=100+3 \times (750-100)$
$=2050$ for the system
