Answer:
mole fraction of toluene 0.53
Explanation:
given data:
vapor pressure of benzene = 160 torr
vapor pressure of toluene = 50 torr
mole of benzene = 3.8 mol
mole of toluene = 5.7 mol
calculate total pressure
here total pressure = mole fraction of toluene x vapour pressure of toluene + mole fraction of benzene x vapor pressure of benzene
mole fraction of toluene [tex]= \frac{5.7}{5.7+3.8}[/tex]
mole fraction of Benzene [tex]= \frac{3.8}{5.7+3.8}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{5.7}{( 5.7 + 3.8 )}*50 + \frac{3.8}{5.7 + 3.8}*160[/tex]
= 94 torr
we have mole fraction of toluene in vapor phase =\frac{50}{94} =
= 0.53 (ans)
