b) For estimating Txy, we need iterative procedures from initial guess of temperature Txy (in
this case: for all xi, initial guess Txy = 80°C, so we can calculate the Pisat from that on each xi
(xA and xN) or yi (yA and yN) for estimating the calculated total pressure of the system. After

that, we need to calculate the relative error between the calculated and the data of total
pressure for each xi or yi, evaluate the summation of all the relative errors in this case and
geometric mean of them by changing the Txy temperature of each xi or yi until reaching their
minimum values on Microsoft Office Excel Solver. Similar to the previous sub-question,
there are two methods to estimate Pxy at saturation of the binary system (Acetonitrile-
Nitromethane) using Raoult’s Law, as per following below:

Q2: for a binary system of methanol/acetate, use the modified Raoult's law
(yiP=xiγiPisat) to calculate:
a) Pressure (P) and mole fraction (yi) at T=318.15K and xi=0.25
b) Pressure (P) and mole fraction (xi) at T=318.15K and yi=0.60
c) Temperature (T) and mole fraction (yi) at P=101.33 kPa and xi =0.85
d) Temperature (T) and mole fraction (xi) at P=101.33 kPa and yi =0.40
Note the Antoine's Equation and activity coefficients are given by:
