Hi there,
Here is my worked solution.
Work through it yourself so you understand it :)
1.
The ratio of masses of two compounds in gas phase is equal to the ratio of the products of their molecular masses times their partial pressures:
m1/m2 = M1*p1 / M2*p2
This ratio remain constant after the gas mixture resulting from the distillation ...
