The vapour pressure in mmHg of a `CH_(3)OH-C_(2)H_(5)OH` binary solution , p, at a certain temperature is represented by the equation
`p=254-119x`,
where x is the mole fraction of `C_(2)H_(5)OH` . Find the vapour pressure of the pure components.

Explanation

To find the vapor pressures of the pure components (methanol and ethanol) from the given equation for the vapor pressure of the binary solution, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the given equation
The equation for the vapor pressure \( p \) of the solution is given as:
\[ p = 254 - 119x \]
where \( x \) is the mole fraction of ethanol (\( C_2H_5OH \)).
