In a mixture of benzene vapor and nitrogen gas at a total pressure of 900 mm Hg, if the absolute humidity of benzene is 0.2 kg benzene/kg nitrogen, the partial pressure of benzene in mm Hg is__________________?

Question

Accepted Answer

60.3. The partial pressure of benzene is calculated using Dalton's law: $P_{benzene} = 	ext{Mole Fraction}_{benzene} 	imes P_{total}$. Given the humidity ratio and total pressure, this yields approximately 60.3 mm Hg.
