Problem 2
50 Marks
Consider a mixture of methanol (1), ethanol (2) and water (2) ternary system. Assume ideal
behavior of the solution and Raoult's law can be applied.
The Antoine constants and boiling points for the components are:
(a) Calculate the bubble point pressure for the mixture of composition (x1=0.4,x2=0.4) at a
given temperature of 80C. Also calculate the values of y1,y2 and y3.
