Question

The diagram below shows the liquid-vapor balance between two components A and B at 1 atm. The molar fraction in the liquid solution is x and in the vapor it is y. The boiling point of A is 124 °C and that of B is 155 °C. In such a way:

A. What is the composition of the vapor in equilibrium with the solution when the composition of the liquid phase is i) Xa = 0.5; ii) Xb = 0.33?

B. When Za = 0.8 what will be the molar ratio between coexisting phases for a temperature close to 130 °C?
