A binary liquid mixture of benzene and toluene is in equilibrium with its vapour at a pressure of 1.5 atm. The liquid mole fractions of benzene and toluene are equal. Show that vapour-liquid equilibrium occurs at a temperature of

379.6 K and calculate the corresponding mole fractions of benzene and toluene in the vapour phase. You may assume ideal solution behaviour.

Antoine’s coefficients for toluene: A = 16.014 , B = 3094.5 , C = -53.75

Antoine’s coefficients for benzene: A = 15.901, B = 2788.5, C = -52.34

These Antoine coefficients are based on pressure in torr, temperature in K, and

natural logarithms.

The vapor pressure of pure benzene is 750.0 torr and the vapor pressure of toluene is 300.0 torr at a certain temperature. You make a solution by pouring “some” benzene with “some” toluene. You then place this solution in a closed container and wait for the vapor to come into equilibrium with the solution. Next, you condense the vapor. You put this liquid (the condensed vapor) in a closed container and wait for the vapor to come into equilibrium with...

A vapor mixture of benzene and toluene is slowly cooled inside a constant volume vessel. Initially the pressure inside the vessel is 300 mm Hg and the temperature is 70 C. As the vessel is cooled, the pressure inside the vessel decreases. Assume the vapor behaves like an ideal gas and take the dew point of the mixture to be 60 C. What is the mole fraction of benzene in the initial vapor mixture?
