Consider a toluene-benzene solution in which the mole-fraction of toluene is 0.33. At a temperature of 300 K, the total vapor pressure of this solution is 7.89 kPa, and the partial pressures of the toluene and benzene constituents of the vapor are Ptoluene = 1.214 kPa and Pbenzene = 6.677 kPa, respectively. At 300 K, the vapor pressure of pure liquid toluene is P* = 3.572 kPa and the vapor pressure of pure liquid benzene is P* = 9.657 kPa. What are the activities (a) and activity coefficients (γ) of the toluene and benzene constituents of the solution?
