At a given temperature, you have a mixture of ethanol and acetone at 19.5 °C. The vapor pressure of pure ethanol at 19.5 °C is 42.28 mmHg and the vapor pressure of pure acetone at 19.5 °C is 180.5 mmHg. The mole fraction of ethanol in the solution is 0.819. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate the mole fraction of acetone in the vapor above the solution, in mmHg.

Question
At a given temperature, you have a mixture of ethanol and acetone at
19.5 °C. The vapor pressure of pure ethanol at 19.5 °C is 42.28 mmHg
and the vapor pressure of pure acetone at 19.5 °C is 180.5 mmHg. The
mole fraction of ethanol in the solution is 0.819. Assuming ideal
behavior, calculate the mole fraction of acetone in the vapor above the
solution, in mmHg.
