1‑propanol (p∘1=20.9 torr at 25 ∘c) and 2‑propanol (p∘2=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=0.220, calculate the composition of the vapor phase at 25 ∘c.

The composition of 1-propanol in vapor phase = 11.54 %

The composition of 2-propanol in vapor phase = 88.46 %
