Question: Q 1 . ( 3 0 marks ) The P - x - y diagram of C H C l 3 ( component - 1

Q1.(30 marks)
The P-x-y diagram of CHCl3(component-1)/THF (component-2) at 50C is shown below:
a. The pressure above a mixture of CHCl3 and THF is 62000Pa. What are the possible combinations of the liquid and vapor phases for this mixture? (2 marks)
b. The pressure above a mixture of CHCl3 and THF is 52000Pa. What are the possible combinations of the liquid and vapor phases for this mixture? (3 marks)
c. Consider a chloroform/THF mixture with x1=0.8 initially at 50C and 70kPa. Describe the evolution of the phases and phase compositions as the pressure is gradually reduced to 50kPa. (5 marks)
d. Consider a chloroform/THF mixture with x1=0.9 initially at 50C and 50kPa. Describe the evolution of the phases and phase compositions as the pressure is gradually increased to 70kPa. (5 marks)
e. Is there an azeotrope formed for this mixture? If yes, at what composition? What is the nature of boiling of this azeotrope? (5 marks)
f. Consider a closed vessel initially containing 1mol of THF at 50C and 52kPa. Pure chloroform is slowly added at constant T and P until the vessel contains 1mol THF
and 9molCHCl3. Describe the evolution of the phases and phase compositions during this process. (10 marks)
