Liquid/vapor mole fraction, BENZENE

i. Bubble point temperature of the equimolar liquid mixture of benzene and toluene =
365.302 K
Vapour composition that is in equilibrium with this mixture = 0.713875 Benzene and
0.286125 Toluene (mole fractions)

ii. Dew point temperature of an equimolar vapour mixture of benzene and toluene =
372 K
Liquid composition that is in equilibrium with this mixture = 0.29 Benzene and 0.71
Toluene (mole fractions)

iii. 95 degree celsius = (95+273) = 368 K

Liquid composition of Benzene = 0.4125
Liquid composition of Toluene = 0.5875

Vapour composition of Benzene = 0.6315

Vapour composition of Toluene = 0.3685

Vapor fraction = 0.3995

Liquid fraction = 0.6004
2) Problem 2

Azeotropic composition = 0.9 (Ethanol composition in both liquid and vapour) &
0.1 (Water composition in both liquid and vapour)
Azeotropic temperature = 351 K
