Transcribed Image Text:A2
A liquid mixture containing 6 moles of cyclohexane (C6H₁2) and 6 moles of
cyclopentane (C7H₁4) is in equilibrium with a vapour in a closed container. The
vapour pressures of pure C6H₁2 and C7H14 are 389.32 mmHg and 108.56 mmHg,
respectively. Vapour pressure of a pure substance is related to temperature by the
Antoine equation (Equation A2a):
Log10 p*= A - B/(T+C)
Where p* is vapour pressure in mmHg, T is temperature in degrees Celsius, and A, B
and C are constants given in Table A2a.
