A mixture of methylbenzene and benzene is an ideal solution. Explain why the mixture constitutes an Ideal solution. Use the diagram below to sketch a well labelled graph to show the variation of vapour pressure against composition for the mixture above. Hence suggest a practical technique by which a mixture of benzene and methylbenzene could be separated into its components.
