An ideal solution was obtained by mixing methanol and ethanol. If the partial vapour pressures of methanol and ethanol are $2.619\,\mathrm{kPa}$ and $4.556\,\mathrm{kPa}$ respectively, the composition of vapour (in terms of mole fraction) will be
- A$0.635$ MeOH, $0.365$ EtOH
- B$0.365$ MeOH, $0.635$ EtOH
- C$0.574$ MeOH, $0.326$ EtOH
- D$0.173$ MeOH, $0.827$ EtOH
✓ Correct answer: B
