(19)* A distiller working in a Montreal Microdistillery is trying to get an improved understanding of his distillation process. He obtained the VLE diagram for an Ethanol-Water mixture (hereunder) at P=1.01325105Pa. His distillation is apparatus allows for only 1VLE step to occur. The conditions for the use of the modified Raoult's law apply.

a.(3) The distiller is distilling a mixture of ethanol and water containing 10%(molar) ethanol. At what temperature will the mixture boil?
b.(3) He measures the boiling point of another mixture at 358K, what is the composition of the vapor?
c.(3) If the distiller condenses this vapor (the one from b., boiling at 358K) and distils it again, what will be the boiling point of the liquid, what will be the composition of the new vapor?
d.(6) Extract the equilibrium liquid and vapor compositions data at 356K from the graph. From this single data point, create a model for the activity coefficient using the Margules model, but assuming that
