  1. A Equal number of moles of benzene and toluene since it is an ideal solution
  2. B Higher percentage of benzene
  3. C Equal mass of benzene and toluene since it is an ideal solution
  4. D Higher percentage of toluene
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Higher percentage of benzene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Benzene is more volatile than toluene, which means the vapour pressure of pure benzene is greater than that of pure toluene (\(P^{\circ}_B > P^{\circ}_T\)). Given that \(1\) mole of benzene is mixed with \(1\) mole of toluene, the mole fractions in the liquid phase are…
