Tutorial 8 Question

The document outlines a series of thermodynamic calculations involving cyclopentane and benzene, including the preparation of vapor-liquid equilibrium curves, phase separation calculations, and bubble point determinations at various pressures and temperatures. It also discusses the enthalpy-concentration data for an acetone-water system, providing necessary parameters for calculating heat of solution and vaporization. The problems require applying ideal behavior assumptions and thermodynamic principles to analyze binary mixtures.

Q1). Cyclo-pentane(A) and benzene (B) form nearly ideal solutions.

(a) Using the vapour pressure equation given in Table (and assuming ideal behaviour), prepare the
bubble point, the dew point and the vapour-liquid equilibrium curves for this binary at 1 atm
total pressure.
(b) If one kilomole of a two-phase mixture having 42 mole% A at 68°C is allowed and 1 atm total
pressure is allowed to separate into a liquid and a vapour phase at 1 atm total pressure,
calculate the amounts and compositions of the two phases.
(c) Consider an equimolar mixture of A and B at 600 mm total pressure. (i) What is the bubble
point of the mixture and the composition of the initial vapour? (ii) If a small quantity of the
mixture is slowly vaporized in a closed vessel and the vapour remains in contact and in
equilibrium with the liquid, calculate the composition of the last drop of the liquid.
(d) If an equimolar mixture of the compounds has a bubble point of 100°C, calculate the total
pressure exerted at that temperature at equilibrium. [15 Marks]

Q2). Enthalpy-concentration data have to be calculated for acetone(A)-water(B) system at 1 atm total
pressure. The integral heat of solution (at 15°C) at different concentrations, the specific heats of
solutions and the x-y* data are given below (x, y*= mole fractions of acetone in solution and in the
equilibrium vapour respectively.
The other relevant data: average specific heat of liquid acetone, CPA = 0.57 kcal/kg-K; average specific
heat of water, CpB = 1.0 kcal/kg-K; heat of vaporization of acetone, λA = 125.8 - 0.252(ϴ-50) kcal/kg;
ϴ = temperature in °C; average heat of vaporization of water, λB = 550 kcal/kg. [15 Marks]
