(a) Benzene and toluene form an ideal solution at 70 °C. The solution consists of 50% mole benzene. The vapor pressures (in mm Hg) for the pure component are given by the following Antoine equations: For Benzene: 1211.03 bg,,R" -6.91-: T(C) + 220.70 For Toluene: 1343.94 bg10 P - 6.95- T('C)+219.38 (i) Calculate the vapor pressure of the solution. (ii) Calculate the dew point pressure. (iii) Calculate the composition of the liquid at dew point. (b) Wet solids are dried from 30% to 8% moisture under constant drying conditions in 16.9 hours. The drying rate in the falling-rate period is a straight line through the origin. The critical and the equilibrium moisture contents are 15% and 5% respectively. Assuming a sample of same type of solids with initial moisture content of 33% is dry under the same drying conditions; determine the final moisture content of solid if it is only allowed to dry for 14 hrs.
