NEET 2016 Phase 1 · ChemistryPrevious Year Question

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, = 12.8 kPa, = 3.85 kPa)

Answer: (A) The vapour will contain a higher percentage of benzene.. \textbf{Answer:} (A) The vapour will contain a higher percentage of benzene.

  1. A.The vapour will contain a higher percentage of benzene.
  2. B.The vapour will contain a higher percentage of toluene.
  3. C.The vapour will contain equal amounts of benzene and toluene.
  4. D.Not enough information is given to make a prediction.

Correct Answer

(A) The vapour will contain a higher percentage of benzene.

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (A) The vapour will contain a higher percentage of benzene. \textbf{Solution:} For an ideal solution Raoult's law gives the partial pressures from the mole fractions in the liquid (). Partial pressures: kPa, kPa. Total pressure: kPa. Mole fraction of benzene in the vapour: . Since the vapour is always richer in the more volatile component (benzene), the vapour contains a higher percentage of benzene.
