Problem 1. A binary mixture of benzene(1) and ethylbenzene(2) for which the overall mole fraction of species 1 z=0.5 is flashed to T=373.15 K, P=76kPa. Determine the equilibrium mole fractions x and y of the liquid and vapor formed, the molar fraction V of the vapor formed, and the fractional recovery R of species 1 in the vapor phase (defined as the ratio for species 1 of moles in the vapor to moles in the feed). Assume that Raoult's Law applies.
