Question text What is the mole fraction of benzene in a benzene-toluene solution whose vapor pressure is 51 torr at 20°C?

Mole fraction for benzene is 0.683

Explanation:

We need to determine the colligative property about vapour pressure which formula is:

ΔP = P° . Xm

where P° is vapour pressure of pure solvent.

ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent - Vapor pressure of solution

In this case, our solvent is benzene and the solute is toluene. For this colligative property vapour pressure of solution is lower than pure solvent.

P° of benzene at 20°C is 74.7 Torr

Xm is the value for the mole fraction of solute.

Let's replace data: 74.7 Torr - 51 Torr = 74.7 Torr . Xm

Xm = 0.317 → That's the mole fraction for toluene.

Then, mole fraction for benzene will be: 1 - 0.317 → 0.683

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
