Use the Gibbs Duhem Relation at fixed P & T to solve it.

thats what i did but then i have V2 equal a cubic equation in x2, which is ok, however theres also an unknown V, which i somehow need to evaluate using the density given. but i dunno how

Gibbs-Duhem Relation at fixed P&T for binary mixture:

n1d?1 + n2d?2 = 0
n1d?1 = - n2d?2
d?1/d?2 = -n2/n1

note: x1 + x2 = 1
-n2/n1 = -x2/x1 = x2/(x2 - 1)

d?1/d?2 = V1/V2 = x2/(x2 - 1)

V1 = 92.6 - 5.28x1 + 2.64x12 = 92.6 + 5.28(x2 - 1) + 2.64(x2 - 1)2

V2 = V1(x2 - 1)/x2 = 89.96(1 - 1/x2) + 2.64x2(x2 - 1)
