Question: Starting from the fundamental equation d g = - s d T + v d P and with the aid of the figure above, show

Starting from the fundamental equation dg=-sdT+vdP and with the aid of the figure above, show or illustrate that at phase equilibrium (saturated liquid and saturated vapor) the equation below must be satisfied:
v1vvPdv-Psat(vv-vl)=0
where UV and vl are the saturation vapor and liquid molar volumes at a given temperature, respectively.
2. Calculate the vapor pressure Psat and the saturated liquid and vapor densities of isobutane at 375K using the Redlich-Kwong equation of state and the equation above. Compare your calculated values with the experimental data at 375K, the experimental vapor pressure is 20.66 bar and the saturated vapor and liquid densities are 59.7kgm3 and 422kgm3, respectively. Explain clearly all the steps in your calculations. You may use Excel or Matlab to solve this problem but make sure that your solution can be easily followed.
3. Calculate the fugacity of isobutane in the vapor and liquid phase in problem 2.
 Starting from the fundamental equation dg=-sdT+vdP and with the aid of
