Question: The binary mixture methanol (1) benzene (2) forms an azetrope at a pressure P = 1.013 bar (= 1 atm) and T = 331.10 K.

The binary mixture methanol (1) benzene (2) forms an azetrope at a pressure P = 1.013 bar (= 1 atm) and T = 331.10 K. The composition of the azetrope is x1 = 0.614.

Critical data:

The binary mixture methanol (1) benzene (2) forms an azetrope at aPART A Calculate the vapor fugacities for components 1 and 2, using the following models: That is, calculate 1, 2. Check your calculations, it's easy to make a mistake.

Model 1 - ideal gas solution, yi=1

Apply the Lewis and Randall Rule, which says: fi=yifi fi is the fugacity of the pure component, which can be calculated as follows (you can choose): a) With the virial equation of two terms:

pressure P = 1.013 bar (= 1 atm) and T = 331.10

With a generalized correlation (Tables E15 and E16 book Smith, Van Ness & Abbott):

K. The composition of the azetrope is x1 = 0.614. Critical data:

Model 2: Real Gas Solution, Virial Equation

See applicable equations and example 11.9 on pages 409 to 411 of the book by Smith, Van Ness & Abbott.
