Question
Answered step-by-step
A mixture of ethanol and 1 -propanol behaves ideally at $36^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and is in equilibrium with its vapor. If the mole fraction of ethanol in the solution is $0.62,$ calculate its mole fraction in the vapor phase at this temperature. (The vapor pressures of pure ethanol and 1-propanol at $36^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ are $108 \mathrm{mmHg}$ and $40.0 \mathrm{mmHg}$, respectively.)

In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The term "solution" is also used to refer to the resultant mixture. The solution is usually a fluid. The particles of a solute are dispersed or dissolved in the solvent. The resulting solution is also called the solvent. The solvent is the continuous phase.

In physics and thermodynamics, the natural tendency of a system to change its state is its tendency to increase the entropy of the system. It is a measure of the disorder in a system.

we're given the mole fraction of if no, in addition to the partial pressure 108 And for one per open, all were given the partial pressure. 40. We know that ex upset one equals one minus X subset to which would Pogue in Ah, the mole Fraction X upset, too, to give us an X one of 0.3 a, which we will use in this equation here to give us the p one off 15.2, which really use here and needs to be converted to give us a mole fraction of 8.15 times 10 to the negative for.
