Vapour pressure of C_6H_6 and C_7H_8 mixture at 50^@C are given by: P=179X_B+92," where "X_B" is mole fraction of "C_6H_6. Calculate (in mm): (A) Vapour pressure of pure liquids. (B) Vapour pressure of liquid mixture obtained by mixing 936 g C_6H_6 anf 736 g toluene. (C) If the vapours are removed and condensed into liquid and again brought to the temperature of 50^@C, what would be mole fraction of C_6H_6 in vapour state?

Answer»

Solution :(A) Given, `P=179X_B+92`
For pure, `C_6H_6,X_B=1`
`:.P_B^@=179+92=271mm`
For pure,`C_7H_8,X_B=0`
`:.P_T^@=179xx0+92=92mm`
(B) Now`PM=P_B^@X_B+P_T^@X_T`
`271xx12/(12+8)+92xx8/(12+8)=162.6+36.8`
= 199.4 mm.
MOLES of `C_6H_6=936/78=12`
Moles of `C_7H_8=736/92=8`
(C) Now mole fraction of `C_6H_6` in VAPOUR phase of intial mixture`(X_T^/)`
`(X_T^/)=P_B^(/)/P_M=162.6/199.4=0.815`
Moles fraction of `C_7H_8` in vapour phase of intial mixture `(X_T^/)`
`(X_T^/)=P_T^(/)/P_M=36.8/199.4=0.185`
These vapours are taken out and condensed into liquid. The liquid is again BROUGHT to `50^@` to get again vapour-liquid equilibrium.
Thus, mole fraction of `C_6H_6` in vapour phase of initial mixture
= Mole fraction of `C_6H_6` in liquid phase on II mixture `X_B^(/)` Similarly, mole fraction of `C_7H_8` in vapour phase of initial mixture
 Mole fraction of `C_7H_8` in liquid phase on II mixture `X_T^(/)`
New `P_M=P_B^(/)+P_T^(/)`
THEREFORE, new `P_M=P_B^@X_B^(/)+P_T^@X_T^(/)`
`271xx0.815+92xx0.185` mm
`220.865+17.02=237.885` mm
`:.` New mole fraction of `C_6H_6` in vapour phase
`("New"P_B^(/))/("New"P_M)=220.865/237.885=0.928`
`:.` New mole fraction of `C_7H_8` in vapour phase = 0.072
