Saturated solution of benzene in water is in equilibrium with a mixture of air and vapours of benzene and water at room temperature and pressure. Mole fraction of benzene in liquid is x<sub>B</sub> and the vapour pressures of benzene and water at these conditions are P<sub>v</sub><sup>B</sup> and P<sub>v</sub><sup>w</sup> respectively. The partial pressure of benzene in air-vapour mixture is

Correct Answer: X<sub>B</sub>.P<sub>v</sub><sup>B</sup>
