Calculate the equilibrium data for the system at 101.3 kPa and formulate an equation for
the equilibrium diagram in terms of average relative volatility.
8.5 At 303 K, the vapour pressures of benzene (A) and toluene (B) are 15.75 kPa and 4.89 kPa
respectively. Determine the partial pressures and weight composition of the vapour in
equilibrium with a liquid mixture consisting of equal weights of the two components.
8.6 An equimolar mixture of benzene and toluene is contained in a piston/cylinder arrangement
at a temperature T. What is the maximum pressure below which the mixture exists as a
vapour phase alone? At the given T, the vapour pressures of benzene and toluene are
203.9kPa and 85.3 kPa, respectively. Assume that Raoult's law is valid.
8.7 Two substances A and B are known to form ideal liquid solutions. A vapour mixture
containing 50% (mol) A and 50% (mol) B is at 311 K and 101.3 kPa. This mixture is
compressed isothermally until condensation occurs. At what pressure does condensaion
occur and what is the composition of the liquid that forms? The vapour pressures oI A dne
B are 142 kPa and 122 kPa respectively.
8.8 Air is cooled to 80 K at 101.3 kPa. Calculate the composition of the liquid and vape
phases at this condition assuming that the mixture behaves ideally. The vapour plesse
of nitrogen and oxygen at 80 K are 135.74 kPa and 30.04 kPa respectively.
