Q. The vapour pressure of benzene and pure toluene at 70∘C are 500 mm and 200 mm Hg respectively.If they form an ideal solution what is the mole fraction of benzene in a mixture boiling at 70∘ C at a total pressure of 380 mm Hg ?

Solutions

Solution:

Let mol. fraction of Benzene is x
∴ 380 = x×500+(1−x)200 or x = 0.6.
