Practice question
Question
A binary mixture of benzene and toluene under vapour-liquid equilibrium at 80 C follows ideal Raoult’s law. At this condition, the saturation pressures of benzene and toluene are 101 kPa and 40 kPa, respectively. If the mole fraction of benzene in the liquid phase is 0.6, the corresponding mole fraction of benzene in the vapour phase will be _______. (Round off to two decimal places)
Explanation
Calculation based on standard general principles yields 0.79 as the numerical result. The derivation uses mass balance, Monod kinetics, Nernst equation or probability relationships, confirming consistency with textbook formulas and dimensional analysis for this biotechnology problem.
