Question # 1
Prepare a pressure-composition diagram for a binary mixture of methyl glycolate (1) and ethylene glycol
(2) at 343.15 K if the liquid phase non ideality is represented by the NRTL equation with = 0.47,12 =
0.060, and 21 = 1.378.
The vapor pressures of components 1and 2 are given as

Where P is in bar and T is in K.

Question # 2
Estimate the bubble point temperature of a liquid mixture of 25.9 mol% methanol (1) and 74.1% 1,3-
dioxolane (2) at 101.3 kPa. Also calculate the composition of the first bubble of vapor. The system is
represented by the NRTL model with the following parameters

Where P is in kPa and T is in K.

Question # 3
Estimate the dew point temperature of a vapor mixture of 65 mol% acetone (1) and 35% benzene (2) at a
pressure of 1.013 bar. Also calculate the composition of the first drop of liquid. The system is represented
by the Wilson equation with the following parameters:

The vapor pressures of components 1and 2 are given as

Question # 4
Estimate the dew point pressure of a vapor mixture of 87 mol% 1,3-dioxolane (1) and 13% 2-methyl-1-
propanol (2) at 328.2 K. Also calculate the composition of the first drop of liquid. The activity
coefficients of the mixture can be represented by the Wilson equation and the infinite dilution activity
coefficients are given as
