Given information

The vapor pressure of the pentane is .

The vapor pressure of the hexane is .

The vapor pressure of the solution is .

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

 The sum of mole fraction of all the components in the mixture is equal to one.

The mole fraction of pentane in the solution of pentane and hexane is calculated by the formula,

(considered as equation 1)

Where,

  • is the vapor pressure of solution.

  • is the vapor pressure of pentane.

  • is the vapor pressure of hexane.

  • is the mole fraction of pentane.
