Astronomers have developed several ways to measure the vast distances between Earth and the stars and galaxies. What do you know about two of these techniques?

An astronomical unit (A. U.) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 150 light-years across

An astronomical unit is about 93 million kilometers.

Astronomers measure distances to objects which are outside our solar system in light-years.

The A. U. is used to measure distance within our solar system.

A light-year (ly) is the distance that light can travel in one year in a vacuum.

)benzene and toluene form nearly ideal solutions. consider an equimolar solution of benzene and toluene. at 20 °c the vapour pressures of pure benzene and toluene are 9.9 kpa and 2.9 kpa, respectively. the solution is boiled by reducing the external pressure below the vapour pressure. calculate (i) the pressure when boiling begins, (ii) the composition of each component in the vapour, and (iii) the vapour pressure when only a few drops of liquid remain. assume that the rate of vaporization is low enough for the temperature to remain constant at 20 °c.
