A mixture of toluene and benzene boils at 100^ C . Assuming ideal behaviour, the mole fraction of toluene in the mixture is closest to [Vapour pressures of pure toluene and pure benzene at 100^ C are 0.742 and 1.800 bar respectively. 1 atm =1.013 bar ]
Options
- A0.824
- B0.744
- C0.544
- D0.624
Correct answer
B. 0.744
Step-by-step solution
1.013=0.742 X _ t +1.8 X _ b 1.013=0.742 (1- X _ b )+1.8 X _ b X _ b =0.256 X _ t =1- X _ b =0.744
