Which statement about the composition of vapour over an ideal $1:1$ molar mixture of benzene and toluene is correct? Assume the temperature is constant at $25\,^{\circ}C$. Vapour pressure data $(25\,^{\circ}C)$:
Benzene: $75\, mm\, Hg$
Toluene: $22\, mm\, Hg$

  • A
    The vapour will contain higher percentage of benzene
  • B
    The vapour will contain higher percentage of toluene
  • C
    The vapour will contain equal amount of benzene and toluene
  • D
    Not enough information is given to make a prediction
