Question
A container filled with a solution made of five liters of benzene and five liters of toluene is placed in a poorly ventilated storage room that has a leaky water pipe. Water leaking from the pipe falls on the floor, and leaves the room through a floor drain. It does not come into direct contact with the benzene/toluene solution. Assume the water reaches equilibrium with the air in the room before being lost through the drain, and neglect any changes in the composition of the solution. What will be the concentration of benzene in the water going out the drain?
Explanation / Answer
Since, the water does not come into direct contact with the benzene/toluene solution. And there is no changes in the composition of the solution. The concentration of benzene in the water going out the drain is ZERO.
