The system -epichlorohydrin(1) + n-propanol(2) exhibits an azeotrope at 760 mmHg and 96C containing 16 mol% epichlorohydrin.

Question:

The system α-epichlorohydrin(1) + n-propanol(2) exhibits an azeotrope at 760 mmHg and 96°C containing 16 mol% epichlorohydrin. Use the van Laar theory to estimate the composition of the vapor in equilibrium with a 90 mol% epichlorohydrin liquid solution at 96°C. (α-epichlorohydrin has the formula C3H5ClO, and IUPAC name 1-chloro-2,3- epoxypropane. Its vapor pressure can be approximated by: log10Psat = 8.0270 - 2007/ T, where Psat is in mmHg and T is in Kelvin. You can use the shortcut vapor pressure equation for n-propanol.)
