Question
A benzene-toluene solution with Xben=0.300 has a nbp ( normal boiling point) of 98.6degrees. The vap.pre. of pure toluene at 98.6degrees is 533 mmHg. What must be the vap.pre. of pure benzene at 98.6degrees? (Assume ideal solution behaviour.)

the boiling point of solution = 98.6 C . at thisconditions the vapour pressure = 760 mmhg.
Vapressure of solution = pben+ pTou
760 = 533 + x
x = Vapressure of benzene = 227 mmhg.
