Dimethylaniline is distilled with steam at 90 kPa to free it from the non-volatile impurities Assuming it to be completely immiscible with water, determine  

(a) the distillation temperature 

(b) The composition of the vapour produced. 

The vapour pressure data follows: 

T,K 

343.2 

374.8

Vap pressure aniline, kPa 

1.333 

5.332

Vap pressure water, kPa 

31.19 

106.91

 

Plot of ln(vap pressure) versus 1/T may be assumed linear.
