4. A solution of benzene and toluene at 25C and 760mmHg has a total vapor pressure (Ptotal) of 71.08 torr (mmHg). If the partial pressures of benzene (Pbenzene) and toluene (Ptoulene) are 60.86 torr and 122 torr respectively, what are the percentages of a. benzene; and b. toluene, in the corresponding vapor above the liquid. Please show all the calculations.

(b) If the vapor pressure of pure benzene is always higher than the vapor pressure of pure toluene when they are both at the same temperature and applied pressure, which of the two (benzene or toluene) should always have the higher temperature? Why?
