हिन्दीWhich 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 \( 25^\circ\text{C} \). (Given: Vapour pressure data at \( 25^\circ\text{C} \), benzene = \( 12.8\text{ kPa} \), toluene = \( 3.85\text{ kPa} \))
Correct answer · Option 3
The vapour will contain a higher percentage of benzene.
Explanation
According to Raoult's law, the component with higher vapour pressure (benzene, \( 12.8\text{ kPa} \)) will have a greater mole fraction in the vapour phase than in the liquid phase.
