T - Assume That The Latent Heats of Fusion of The Pure Species Are Independent of Temperature

This document contains a 3 part problem set regarding vapor-liquid equilibrium. Part 1 involves a binary solution that freezes at a single temperature and calculates the freezing point of the pure species. Part 2 examines vapor pressures of a benzene-toluene mixture and determines the boiling point and first vapor composition. Part 3 provides vapor pressure data for an ethanol-chloroform solution and calculates various vapor phase properties using Henry's law.

1. (40 pts.)

Species A and B are completely miscible in the liquid phase and completely immiscible in the solid phase. The liquid solutions of A and B are ideal solutions at all compositions. The following data is available: * TA = 280 K , H mA ( fus ) = 3 kJ/mole , H mB ( fus ) = 10 kJ/mole . Experiment indicates that a liquid solution of 7 mole A and 3 mole B freezes at a single temperature when cooled at constant atmospheric pressure. Calculate the freezing point of pure * B, TB . Assume that the latent heats of fusion of the pure species are independent of temperature. Also, ignore pressure effects on the freezing points of the pure species.

One mole of liquid benzene is mixed with two moles of liquid toluene. At 20 oC, the vapor pressures of benzene and toluene are 51.3 and 18.5 kPa, respectively. As the pressure is reduced at constant temperature T = 20 oC, at what pressure will boiling begin? What will be the composition of the first bubble of vapor? Assume that the liquid phase is an ideal solution and the vapor phase is an ideal gas.

2. (28 pts.)

A solution of ethanol (eth) and chloroform (chl) at 45 oC with xeth = 0.99 has a vapor pressure of 177.95 torr. At this high dilution of chloroform, the solution can be assumed to be ideally dilute. The vapor pressure of pure ethanol at the same temperature is 172.76 torr.

3. (32 pts.)

(a) (b) (c)

Find the partial pressure of the gases in equilibrium with the solution. Find the mole fractions in the vapor phase. Find Henrys law constant for chloroform in ethanol at 45 oC.

(d) Find the vapor pressure, p, and vapor-phase mole fractions (yeth and ychl) at 45oC for a chloroform-ethanol solution with xeth = 0.98.
