Benzene and naphthalene form ideal solution over the entire range of composition. The vapour pressures of pure benzene and naphthalene at 300 K are 50.71 mm Hg and 32.06 mm Hg respectively. Calculate the mole fraction of benzene in the vapour phase if 80 g of benzene is mixed with 100 g of naphthalene.
Solution:
Molar mass of benzene Molar mass of naphthalene ∴ Number of moles in 80 g of benzene = ∴ Number of moles in 100 g of naphthalene = 0.78125 mole ∴ In the solution, mole fraction of benzene Mole fraction of naphthalene = 1 – 0.567= 0.433 mm Hg, mm Hg Applying Raoult’s law of vapour pressure = 0.567 × 50.71 mm Hg = 28.75 mm Hg = 0.433 × 32.06 mm Hg = 13.88 mm Hg∴ From Dalton’s law, mole fraction of benzene in the vapour phase
