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.
