Chapter 6, Problem 6.72P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Using given data construct a Txy diagram for the system.

Concept introduction:

Mass fraction is defined as the ratio of one component to the total mixture as,

$x=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

Where, x = mass fraction, $n_{A}and{n}_B$ are the components of the substance.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Estimate the mole fractions of acetone in the liquid and vapor phases for the given case.

Concept introduction:

Mass fraction is defined as the ratio of one component to the total mixture as,

$x=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

Where, x = mass fraction, $n_{A}and{n}_B$ are the components of the substance.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Estimate, the molar composition of each phase, the percentage of the total moles in the vessel and the percentage of vessel volume occupied by the vapor phase for the given case.

Concept introduction:

Mass fraction is defined as the ratio of one component to the total mixture as,

$x=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$
