Solution

The correct option is A (a)0.578,0.422 (b)0.9967mol,0.5374mol
(a)Total number of moles =3+2=5
Mole fraction of ethylene bromide 35=0.6
Mole fraction of propylene bromide =10.6=0.4
(b) Partial pressure of ethylene bromide is the product of its mole
fraction and vapour pressure of pure ethylene bromide. It is 0.6×22.93kNm2=13.758kNm2
The partial pressure of propylene bromide is 0.4×16.93kNm2=6.772kNm2
Total pressure is 13.758+6.772=20.53kNm2
The mole fraction of ethylene bromide in the vapour phase is the
ratio of its partial pressure to
total pressure. It is 13.75820.53=0.67
The mole fraction of propyelene bromide in the vapour phase is 10.67=0.33
