At \(300 \mathrm{~K}\) an ideal solution is formed by mixing \(460 \mathrm{~g}\) of toluene with \(390 \mathrm{~g}\) benzene. If the vapour pressure of pure toluene and benzene at \(300 \mathrm{~K}\) are 32 and \(40 \mathrm{~mm}\) respectively, the mole fraction of toluene in vapour phase is

  1. A 0.196
  2. B 0.588
  3. C 0.294
  4. D 0.444
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.444

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(w_a=460 \mathrm{~g}\) (toluene) \(w_B=390 \mathrm{~g} \text { (benzene) }\) Vapour pressure of pure toluene \(\left(p_A\right)=32 \mathrm{~mm}\) Vapour pressure of pure benzene \(\left(p_B\right)=40 \mathrm{~mm}\) Moles of toluene,…
