The data below give the dew and bubble temperature of methanoVethanol matures at 1 bar.

a) A solution containing 30% methanol (by mol) is flashed to 1 bar, 70.82 ⁰ C. Determine the phase of the system; if two phases, report the compositions and relative amounts of each phase.

b) What is the maximum mol fraction of methanol that can be achieved when a solution with 30% methanol is flashed to 1 bar? The maximum mol fraction of ethanol?

c) Make a Txy plot for this system and annotate it properly.

Note: Use linear interpolations and report mol fractions to the third decimal point.
