3. In the following binary system, the partial molar heat of mixing of component 1 can be fitted by the expression: . J 2 H 1 = ao X 2 X 1 . mole a. Calculate the heat of mixing and the partial molar heat of mixing of component 2. b. Graph the partial molar heat of mixing for both components and the heat of mixing all on the same plot as a function of X2 over a range of ao from -10 to 10 J/mol plotted at 1 J/mol increments.
