Benzene and toluene form an ideal solution over the entire range of composition. The vapour pressure of pure benzene and toluene at \(T(\mathrm{~K})\) are \(50 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}\) and \(40 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}\) respectively. What is the mole fraction of toluene in vapour phase when \(117 \mathrm{~g}\) of benzene is mixed with \(46 \mathrm{~g}\) of toluene? (molar mass of benzene and toluene are 78 and \(92 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) respectively)

  1. A 0.78
  2. B 0.21
  3. C 0.64
