An ideal liquid mixture of benzene and toluene (50% by volume each) is used in a plant at 27°C and 1 atm. Determine (a) the mixt
ure TLV, (b) the evaporation rate per unit area for this mixture, and (c) the ventilation rate required to keep the concentration below the TLV if the liquid is contained in a drum with a bung diameter of 5.1 cm. Assume the ventilation quality within the vicinity is average.

Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Shape
The formula for water is H-O-H.
The central O atom has four electron pairs around it. They try to get as far from each other as possible, so they point toward the corners of a tetrahedron.
Only two of the pairs have a hydrogen atom attached, so water has a bent shape. The H-O-H bond angle is about 104°.
(b) Chemical magnet
The O atom has a greater attraction than H for the shared electrons in the O-H bonds, so the electrons spend more time near the O.
This gives the O atom a partial negative charge (pink in the diagram) and the H atoms a partial positive charge (blue).
The water molecule acts like a chemical magnet because its negative end attracts the positive ends of other molecules, while its positive ends attract the negative ends of other molecules.
