Suppose the vapor pressures of two components of a binary solution are given by: P1 = x1P1∗e^((x^2_2)/2) and P2 = x2P2∗e^((x^1_2)/2) a) Given that P1* = 75.0 torr and P2* = 160 torr, calculate the total vapor pressure and the composition of the vapor phase at x1 = 0.40. b) Plot y1 versus x1 for this system. Why does the curve lie below the straight line connecting the origin with the point x1 = 1, y1 = 1? Describe a system for which the curve would lie above the diagonal. Please only solve part b

Question
Suppose the vapor pressures of two components of a binary solution are given by:
P1 = x1P1∗e^((x^2_2)/2) and P2 = x2P2∗e^((x^1_2)/2)
a) Given that P1* = 75.0 torr and P2* = 160 torr, calculate the total vapor pressure and the
composition of the vapor phase at x1 = 0.40.
b) Plot y1 versus x1 for this system. Why does the curve lie below the straight line connecting the
origin with the point x1 = 1, y1 = 1? Describe a system for which the curve would lie above the
diagonal.
Please only solve part b
