Question

Refer to the ternary phase diagram in Fig. 5E.4.

a.) How many phases does a mixture of these liquids have? 

Liquid Amount (mol) XT XW XE
A 15 0.5 0.25 0.25
B 20 0.33 0.33 0.33
C 7.5 0.1 0.8 0.2

b.) For the mixtures in letter a, What are the composition of the phases? If there are two phases, what are the compositions of the trichloromethane-rich and water-rich phases?
