SOLUTION:

1. Determine the boiling points of pure liquid A and pure liquid B


As can be seen from the diagram:
- The boiling point of pure liquid A is 100℃
- The boiling point of pure liquid B is 40℃
2. Comment about values of temperature for liquid-vapour phase equilibrium of all systems
(A+B).
For a given constant pressure, the temperature range for liquid-vapour phase equilibrium for all
systems ( A+B) is between the boiling points for pure liquid A and pure liquid B. Any
composition within this range will exist in both the liquid and vapour phase at equilibrium.
The region between the two curves is the vapour and liquid region, the upper curve called as dew
point curve which gives the vapour phase composition while the bottom curve called as bubble
point curve which gives the liquid phase composition.

As can be seen from the phase diagram:


- Each solution (AB) boils in the temperature range 40℃ - 100℃
- Component B is more volatile than component A
- Each vapour phase contains more component B than the corresponding liquid phase
- Composition of the liquid phase inside Q varies from:
+ XB = 0.03 to 0.2
+ XA = 0.8 to 0.97
- Composition of the vapour phase inside system Q varies from:
- + XB = 0.2 to 0.7
- + XA = 0.3 to 0.8
3. Mixing 0.7 kg A with 0.3 kg B at 30oC to get system Q1, mark system Q1 onto the given
phase diagram and state its characteristics. Determine the compositions of phases in
system Q1 (if system Q1 is heterogeneous).

As can be seen from the graph, we illustrate the temperature of 30℃, by the red horizontal line
and the red vertical line is the mass fraction of B is 70% because mass of B is 0.7kg in total 1kg
in Q system
The region between two curves is the vapour-liquid phase whereas the upper curve is the vapour
region and the bottom curve is the liquid region.
When the temperature is 30℃, we can see in the diagram that system is in liquid phase.
𝑚𝑙𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑑 = 1 𝑘𝑔
In the liquid system at 30℃, we have the mass fraction of B is 70% and the mass fraction of A is
30%

𝑚𝐵 = 1 × 100 = 0.7𝑘𝑔 , 𝑚𝐵 = 1 × 100 = 0.3𝑘𝑔
4. Describe the process heating system Q1.

Heating system Q1 would cause the liquid – vapour mixture to vaporize, resulting in a vapour
phase of composition between pure A and pure B, depending on the temperature of the system.
By collecting the vapour and condensing it back to a liquid, we can separate the components of
the mixture.
We heat the system to the point c which is at approximately 45℃ , the bubble point temperature
will be reached and we can observe that:
- At that point, the composition between the two curves will start to separate into two
phases : liquid and vapour at the same time
We heat the system to the point d which is at 60℃, the dew point temperature will be reached and
we can observe that:
- The composition between the two curves will give a high percentage of B in the vapor
phase and a low percentage of A in the vapor phase ( the mass fraction of B is 70% and the mass
fraction of A is 30%).
We continue to heat the system to point e ( the same temperature as system Q) which is at 110℃,
we can observe that the percentage of B will start to decrease in the vapor phase due to the
vaporization of more liquid B at high temperatures.
After point e, both components are in the vapor phase ( the composition of 70% B and 30% A will
be retained, only phase changed.
