At a given temperature the vapor pressures of benzene and toluene are 183 mm Hg and 59.2 mm Hg, respectively. Calculate the total vapor pressure over a solution of benzene and toluene with X Benzene

CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

At a given temperature the vapor pressures of benzene and toluene are 183 mm Hg and 59.2 mm Hg, respectively. Calculate the total vapor pressure over a solution of benzene and toluene with Xbenzene = 0.580.

The total vapor pressure is

Explanation:

We will be making use of Dalton and Raoults equation in order to calculate the total pressure,

Which is

PT= total vapor pressure

From the question

Benene's Mole fraction = 0.580

then to get Mole fraction of toluene we will substract the one of benzene from 1. because total mole fraction is always 1.

= (1 - 0.580) = 0.420

Vapor pressure of benzene given = 183 mmHg

Vapor pressure of toluene given= 59.2 mmHg

If we substitute those value into above equation, we have

PT=(183×0.580)+(59.2×0.420)

=81.3mmHg

Therefore,, the total vapor pressure of the solution is 81.3 mmHg

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).

girl imma just put my comment here because i need a couple point okurrttt
