Question:
Styrene, used in the manufacture of polystyrene plastics, is made by the extraction of hydrogen atoms from ethylbenzene. The product obtained contains about 38% styrene (C6H5CH=CH2) and 62% ethylbenzene (C6H5CH2CH3), by mass. The mixture is separated by fractional distillation at 90 °C. Determine the composition of the vapor in equilibrium with this 38%–62% mixture at 90 °C. The vapor pressure of ethylbenzene is 182 mmHg and that of styrene is 134 mmHg.
