Problem
A solution of benzene and toluene behaves ideally at 25oC. The pure component vapor pressure of benzene and toluene are respectively 12 kPa and 3.8 kPa at 298 K. Consider a spill of the mixture in a poorly ventilated laboratory. What is the gas-phase mole fraction of benzene in the room? Use Raoult's law. The mixture is 60% by weight of benzene.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
