Benzene-toluene equilibrium is often approximated as \(\alpha_{\mathrm{BT}}=2.34\). Generate the \(\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{x}\) diagram for this relative volatility. Compare your results with data in the literature (see references in Table 2-2). Also, generate the equilibrium data using Raoult's law, and compare your results to these.
