1. For a binary mixture that contains chloroform(l) and methanol(2) at 101.325 kPa, the system
forms an azeotrope at x1 = 0.645 and T = 53.5°C. The binary system is well represented with
the Margules equation as given below:
a) From the above data, determine the parameters A12 and A21 with respect to Margules
equation.
b) By using the values in (a), determine the total pressure and the vapor phase composition of
the system that is in equilibrium with 50% mole liquid mixture of chloroform at 70°C.
2. A binary system that contains acetone(1) and methanol(2) is well represented by Wilson
equation as given below:

Determine the total pressure and the vapor phase composition of the system that is in
equilibrium with 30 mole % liquid mixture of acetone at 55°C (328.15 K).
