To solve this problem, we will use Raoult's Law, which applies to ideal solutions.Raoult's Law states that the partial vapor pressure of each component in the mixture is equal tothe vapor pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction in the liquid mixture.Given:โข Vapor pressure of pure benzene kPaโข Vapor pressure of pure toluene kPaAssuming a 1:1 molar mixture of benzene and toluene:โข Mole fraction of benzene โข Mole fraction of toluene According to Raoult's Law, the partial vapor pressures are:kPakPaThe total vapor pressure of the mixture is:kPaThe mole fraction of benzene in the vapor phase is given by:The mole fraction of toluene in the vapor phase is given by:Since the vapor will contain a higher percentage of benzene.Therefore, the correct statement is:Option 1: The vapour will contain a higher percentage of benzene.
