a. At constant pressure = 101.33 kPa

For a Methyl acetate (1) / Methanol (2) system and at a constant pressure of
101.33 kPa, the individual were computed using:

=
ln

A B C
Methyl acetate 14.2456 2662.78 219.690
Methanol 16.5785 3638.27 239.500

With the Le Antoines constants of the substances, the are the following,

1 = 56.90 2 = 64.70

Temperatures are assumed from the saturation temperatures 1 and 2

range. Ten temperatures are obtained with an interval of ( 1 - 2 )/10. Also, get 1
and 2 with their corresponding temperatures using Antoines equation.

Next, 1 will be computed from the obtained values 1 and 2 of using the
equation:

2
1 =
1 2

For the 1 value, this will be computed using the following equations:

b. At constant temperature = 318.15K

First, ten x values are assumed from 0.0 to 1.0 with an increment of 0.1.Then at given
temperature = 318.15K, solve for get 1 and 2 using Antoines equation with their
corresponding values of A, B and C.

Calculate bubble P through the equation below:
