Step-by-step solution
2 stepsHere are the calculations for the mole fractions of methylbenzene and the vapor pressure contribution of benzene.
Assumption: The vapor pressure of pure benzene () is not provided. Therefore, the vapor pressure contributions of benzene will be expressed in terms of .
Calculate the mole fraction of methylbenzene ().
For a binary solution, the sum of mole fractions is 1:
Therefore, .
Calculate the vapor pressure contribution of benzene ().
According to Raoult's Law for an ideal solution:
where is the vapor pressure of pure benzene.
Here are the results for the given concentrations:
(Vapor Pressure Contribution) 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 1 The respective mole fractions of methylbenzene are 1, 0.75, 0.5, 0.25, 0.
The respective vapor pressure contributions of benzene are 0, , , , .
