Question 1200892: The vapor pressure of ethanol (C2H5OH) at 20°C is
44 mmHg, and the vapor pressure of methanol
(CH3OH) at the same temperature is 94 mmHg. A
mixture of 30.0 g of methanol and 45.0 g of ethanol
is prepared (and can be assumed to behave as an
ideal solution). (a) Calculate the vapor pressure of
methanol and ethanol above this solution at 20°C.
(b) Calculate the mole fraction of methanol and ethanol in the vapor above this solution at 20°C. (c) Suggest a method for separating the two components of
the solution
