This document contains two chemistry assignment questions. Question 1 asks to (a) prove relative volatility formulas for a binary system at x1=0 and x1=1, (b) show that an azeotrope exists and find its composition for a binary acetone-methanol system at 320.15K, and (c) determine the pressure at the azeotrope. Question 2 asks to determine vapor and liquid flow rates and compositions for a flash separator operating on a pentane-hexane-heptane mixture at 350K and 1.2 bar, assuming Raoult's law. The document provides relevant equations, parameter values, and allocation of marks for each

QUESTION 2 A stream containing a mixture of pentane(1), n-hexane(2) and heptane(3) with flow rate of 80 kmol/h, 100 kmol/h and 120 kmol/h, respectively is fed to a flash separator operating at 350 K and 1.2 bar. By assuming Raoult’s law, determine the flow rates of vapor and liquid formed and its compositions. The Antoine parameters for each component are given in the following table.
