A mixture of 20 mL of isoamyl acetate (MW=130.2 g/mol and density= 0.88 g/mL) and 20 mL of methyl benzoate (MW= 136.2 g/mol and density =1.09 g/mL) is distilled. Calculate the mole percent for each component. Use these mole percents and the figure below to answer the following questions.
a. What is the initial boiling point of this mixture?
b. What is the composition of the vapor in equilibrium with the liquid? Is this composition the same as the composition of the initial condensate from simple distillation?
c. Instead of a simple distillation, you decide to use fractional distillation. Assuming two theoretical plates, what is the composition of the first fraction collected?
