Why is the composition of vapor different from composition


A solution contains 50.0g of heptane (C7H16)and 50.0g of octane (C8H18) at 25 degrees C.The vapor pressures of pure heptane and pure octane at 25 degrees Care 45.8 torr and 10.9 torr. Assuming ideal behavior, calculateeach of the following:

a.) The vapor pressure of each of the solution components in themixture
b.) The total pressure above the solution
c.) The composition of the vapor in mass percent
d.) Why is the composition of the vapor different from the composition of the solution?
