Question

A benzene-toluene solution with Xben=0.300 has a nbp ( normal boiling point) of 98.6degrees. The vap.pre. of pure toluene at 98.6degrees is 533 mmHg. What must be the vap.pre. of pure benzene at 98.6degrees? (Assume ideal solution behaviour.)

Explanation / Answer

the boiling point of solution = 98.6 C . at thisconditions the vapour pressure = 760 mmhg.

Vapressure of solution = pben+ pTou

   760 = 533 + x

x = Vapressure of benzene = 227 mmhg.
