From the following vapor pressure data, construct the temperature - composition diagram at 1 atm, for the system benzene-toluene, assuming ideal solution behavior.

Calculations:

Mole fraction in liquid phase (x) is given by,

x = (pt - pB)/(pA - pB)

The corresponding equilibrium mole fraction in vapor phase (y) is,

y = pAx/pt

Using these equations, for the various temperatures given, the following data for x and y are obtained, for the total pressure of 1 atm

Txy
801.0001.000
920.5080.720
1000.2560.453
110.40.0000.000

From the above-calculated data, the following T-x-y diagram is drawn.
