Answer:
The vapor pressure of the solution is 3.69 torr
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Mole fraction of benzene in the solution = 0.139
P° of benzene is 26.5 torr
Step 2: Calculate the vapor pressure of the solution
Psolution = Xbenzene * P°benzene
⇒with Psolution = the vapor pressure of the solution
⇒with Xbenzene = the mole fraction of benzene = 0.139
⇒with P°benzene = the vapor pressure of pure benzene = 26.5 torr
Psolution = 0.139 * 26.5 torr
Psolution = 3.69 torr
The vapor pressure of the solution is 3.69 torr
