For a binary system consist of ortho-xylene (o-xylene) [species 1J and para-xylene 

(p-xylene) [species 21. this system is found to obey Raoult's law. It

For a binary system consist of ortho-xylene (o-xylene) [species 1J and para-xylene (p-xylene) [species 21. this system is found to obey Raoult's law. It is known that Antoine equation allows the quick computation of vapor pressures of pure species. yP = x,P; Raoult's law: psat Antoine equation: In P (kPa) = A, - Parameters for Antoine Eqn. Temp.
