Which of the following statements about the composition of the vapour over an ideal 1 : 1 molar mixture of benzene and toluene is correct? Assume that the temperature is constant at 25oC. (Given, vapour pressure data at 25oC, benzene = 12.8 kPa, toluene = 3.85 kPa)
- AThe vapour eill contain equal amounts of benzene and toluene.
- BNot enough information is given to make a prediction.
- CThe vapour will contain a higher percentage of benzene.
- DThe vapour will contain a higher percentage of toluene

Correct answer: C
pBenzene = xBenzene. poBenzene
pToluene = xToluene. poToluene
For an ideal 1 : 1 molar mixture of benzene and
toluene
xBenzene = and xToluene =
pBenzene = poBenzene = = 6.4 kPa
pToluene = poToluene = = 1.925 kPa
Thus, the vapour will contain a high percentage of
benzene as the partial vapour pressure of benzene
is higher as compared to that of toluene.
