with detailed calculations. Use MATLAB. A $100ml$ of equimolar solution of benzene$(1)$ and

toluene $(2)$ at ambient conditions and $101\mathrm{.}33$kPa $)$ is to be enriched to $0\mathrm{.}95$ mole fraction of

benzene. To do so the solution is flashed at constant temperature, i$.$e$.,$ the pressure is suddenly

reduced below the bubble point pressure and thus, the solution partially evaporates; the vapors

generated are collected separately and condensed. The process is repeated until the mole

fraction of benzene reaches $0\mathrm{.}95.$

Assume that the system follows Raoult's law, then what is the amount of solution with $0\mathrm{.}95$ mole

fraction of benzene?
