Question: For a miscible system and P T = P A + P B and P A = x A P A 0 x A =

For a miscible system
and
PT=PA+PB
and
PA=xAPA0
xA=molAmolA+molB
This means that the total vapor pressure is dependent on the mole fraction (x) of each component. P0 is the vapor pressure of a pure liquid at a given temperature. This is something you would look up or be given in a table of values. The moles of each component can be calculated based on the volume used, density, and molar mass.
a. Calculate the total vapor pressure of a system made of 10mL water and 5mL methyl salicylate at 108C.Pveater=1.0512atm and Ppos=0.0238atm at this temperature. Assume the system is miscible.
b. Is this system boiling (assuming it is miscible?) at 108C?
 For a miscible system and PT=PA+PB and PA=xAPA0 xA=molAmolA+molB This means
