Benzene and toluene form an ideal solution over the entire range of composition. The vapour pressure of pure benzene and toluene at T K are 50 mmHg and 40 mmHg, respectively. What is the mole fraction of toluene in vapour phase when 117 g of benzene is mixed with 46 g of toluene? (Molar mass of benzene and toluene are 78 and 92 g mol-1, respectively)

  1. A 0.78
  2. B 0.21
  3. C 0.64
  4. D 0.35

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.21

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Vapour pressure of benzene, PB°=50 mmHg Vapour pressure of toluene, PT°=40 mmHg Molar mass of benzene =78 g mol-1 Molar mass of toluene =92 g mol-1 Moles of benzene =11778=1.5 Moles of toluene =4690=0.51 Mole fraction of benzene…
