A system formed of methane(1) and a light oil(2) at 200 K and 30 bar consists of a vapor phase containing 95 mol-% methane and a liquid phase containing oil and dissolved methane. The fugacity of the methane is given by Henry’s law, and at the temperature of interest Henry’s constant is .761 = 200 bar. Stating any assumptions, estimate the equilibrium mole fraction of methane in the liquid phase. The second virial coefficient of pure methane at 200 K is -105 cm ³ mol ^-1 .
