1-propanol (P1° = 20.9 Torr at 25 °C) and 2-propanol (P2° = 45.2 Torr at 25 °C) form ideal solutions in all proportions. Let x1 and x2 represent the mole fractions of 1-propanol and 2-propanol in a liquid mixture, respectively, and y1 and y2 represent the mole fractions of each in the vapor phase. For a solution of these liquids with x1 = 0.210, calculate the composition of the vapor phase at 25 °C.

Please work through and explain thoroughly. 1-propanol and 2- propanol form an ideal solution at all concentrations at 25°C. Given that at 25°C, P*1-prop = 20.9 torr, P*2-prop = 45.2, and the total P = 39.1 torr when the molar fraction of 2- propanol (x2-prop) = 0.75, calculate the composition of both species in the vapor phase, as well as the relative amounts of liquid and vapor phases at an overall composition of 0.80 at 25°C.
