Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Which of the following statements about the composition of the vapour over an ideal 1 : 1 molar mixture of benzene and toluene is CORRECT? Assume that the temperature is constant at 25°C. (Given: Vapour pressure data at 25 °C, benzene = 12.8 kPa, toluene = 3.85 kPa)
A
The vapour will contain equal amounts of benzene and toluene.
B
Not enough information is given to make a prediction.
C
The vapour will contain a higher percentage of benzene.
D
The vapour will contain a higher percentage of toluene.
