1. Assuming the validity of Raoult’s law, do the following calculations for
benzene(1)/toluene(2) system. a) At temperature = 100oC (373.15 K) and liquid phase composition of benzene = 0.33, determine the pressure and vapor phase compositions. b) At temperature = 100oC (373.15 K) and vapor phase composition of toluene = 0.67, determine the pressure and liquid phase compositions. c) Sketch P-x1-y1 diagram for a) and b). d) At pressure = 120 kPa and liquid phase composition of benzene = 0.33, determine the temperature and vapor phase compositions. e) At pressure = 120 kPa and vapor phase composition of toluene = 0.67, determine the temperature and liquid phase compositions. f) Sketch T-x1-y1 diagram for d) and e).
