Phase equilibrium
Application
Distillation, absorption, and extraction bring phases of
different composition into contact.

and bubblepoint curves are tangent to the same horizontal line. The
liquid does not change in composition as it evaporates. No separation of
such a constant-boiling solution is possible by distillation.

Henrys law
For a species present as a very
dilute solute in the liquid phase,
the partial pressure of the
species in the vapor phase is
directly proportional to its
liquid-phase mole fraction:

Assuming that carbonated water contains only CO2 (species 1) and H2O (species
2) , determine the compositions of the vapor and liquid phases in a sealed can of
soda and the pressure exerted on the can at 10C. Henrys constant for CO2 in
water at 10C is about 990 bar.

Flash calculations
A liquid at a pressure equal to or greater than its
bubblepoint pressure flashes or partially evaporates
when the pressure is reduced, producing a two-phase
system of vapor and liquid in equilibrium.
Consider a system containing one mole of nonreacting
chemical species:

The system acetone (1)/acetonitrile (2)/nitromethane(3) at 80C and 110 kPa has the
overall composition, z1 = 0.45, z2 = 0.35, z3 = 0.20, Assuming that Raoults law is
appropriate to this system, determine L, V, {xi}, and {yi}. The vapor pressures of the
pure species are given.
Do a BUBL P calculation, with {zi} = {xi} :
