An enthalpy-concentration diagram is given in Figure for a mixture of n-hcxanc (H). and n-octane (0) at 101 kPa. Using this diagram, determine the following:

(a) The mole-fraction composition of the vapor when a liquid containing 30 mol% H is heated from point A to the bubble-point temperature at point B.

(b) The energy required to vaporize 60 mol% of a mixture initially at l00oF and containing 20 mol% H (point G).

(c) The compositions of the equilibrium vapor and liquid resulting from part(b).
