Exercises 6

The document contains 6 problems involving vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations for mixtures of liquids. Problem 1 asks about the composition of a liquid mixture that boils at 90°C at 0.50 atm based on the vapor pressures of the pure components. Problem 2 involves calculating the total pressure and liquid composition of an ideal mixture where the vapor mole fraction of one component is given. Problem 3 determines if a binary solution is ideal and calculates its initial vapor composition. Problem 4 calculates the total pressure and vapor composition for a nearly ideal dibromoethene-dibromopropene solution. Problem 5 calculates vapor pressure and compositions for an equimolar benzene-toluene solution during boiling. Problem 6 involves plotting a temperature-composition

Exercises 6, EFQ

1.-At 90°C, the vapour pressure of methylbenzene is 53.3 kPa and that of 1,2-
dimethylbenzene is 20.0 kPa. What is the composition of a liquid mixture that boils at
90°C when the pressure is 0.50 atm? What is the composition of the vapour produced?

Mariel 2.- The vapour pressure of pure liquid A at 300 K is 76.7 kPa and that of pure liquid B
is 52.0 kPa. These two compounds form ideal liquid and gaseous mixtures. Consider
the equilibrium composition of a mixture in which the mole fraction of A in the vapour
is 0.350. Calculate the total pressure of the vapour and the composition of the liquid
mixture.

Lu 3.- It is found that the boiling point of a binary solution of A and B with xA=0.6589 is
88°C. At this temperature the vapour pressures of pure A and B are 127.6 kPa and
50.60 kPa, respectively. (a) Is this solution ideal? (b) What is the initial composition of
the vapour above the solution?

Mike 4.- Dibromoethene ( P o = 22.9 kPa at 358 K) and dibromopropene ( P o = 17.1 kPa at
358 K) form a nearly ideal solution. If zdibromoethene = 0.60, what is (a) PT when the
system is all liquid, (b) the composition of the vapour when the system is still almost
all liquid?

5.- Benzene and toluene form nearly ideal solutions. Consider an equimolar solution of
Mats benzene and toluene. At 20°C the vapour pressures of pure benzene and toluene are
9.9 kPa and 2.9 kPa, respectively. The solution is boiled by reducing the external
pressure below the vapour pressure. Calculate (a) the pressure when boiling begins,
(b) the composition of each component in the vapour, and (c) the vapour pressure
when only a few drops of liquid remain. Assume that the rate of vaporization is low
enough for the temperature to remain constant at 20°C.

Mariel 6.- The following temperature/composition data were obtained for a mixture of
octane and methylbenzene at 1.00 atm, where x is the mole fraction in the liquid and y
the mole fraction in the vapour at equilibrium.

 / oC 110.9 112.0 114.0 115.8 117.3 119.0 121.1 123.0


xmethylbenzene 0.908 0.795 0.615 0.527 0.408 0.300 0.203 0.097
ymethylbenzene 0.923 0.836 0.698 0.624 0.527 0.410 0.297 0.164

The boiling points are 110.6°C and 125.6°C, for M and O, respectively. Plot the
temperature/composition diagram for the mixture. What is the composition of the
vapour in equilibrium with the liquid of composition (a) xmethylbenzene = 0.250 and (b)
xoctane = 0.250?
