A solution of carbon tetrachloride in benzene, C6H6, at 20°C has a total vapor pressure of 78.50 mmHg. (Assume that this solution is ideal.) The vapor pressure of pure benzene at this temperature is 74.61 mmHg and its density is 0.87865 g/cm3; the vapor pressure of pure carbon tetrachloride is 91.32 mmHg and its density is 1.5940 g/cm3. What percentage of the volume of this solution is due to carbon tetrachloride? [Hint: assume that you have 1.000 L of solution.]
