Figure 5E.4 The phase diagram, at fixed temperature and
pressure, of the three-component system ethanoic acid (E),
trichloromethane (T), and water (W). Only some of the tie lines
have been drawn in the two-phase region. All points along the
line a correspond to trichloromethane and water present in the
same ratio.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The composition of three-component in the mixture sum will be one or hundred percent. The single-phase composition will lie outside the curve present in the diagram. The two-phase compositions will be inside the curve of the diagram. Given three components will lie in equilibrium.
