We have a solution that is formed with two substances, A and B. Here's the data : Molar fraction in substance : 0,357 for A, unknown for B Vapor pressure of the substance in its PURE state (kPa) : 42,5 for A, 23,9 for B Calculate the composition of the vapor phase in the most volatile substance. The values of the vapor pressures of the pure substances should give you an idea of the most volatile substance. Give an answer in mole fraction to 3 significant figures.
