Question: The VLE data for methanol ( 1 ) and carbon - tetrachloride ( 2 ) at at 2 0 C are given below: Vapor pressure

The VLE data for methanol (1) and carbon-tetrachloride (2) at at 20C are given below:
Vapor pressure of carbon-tetrachloride (2) at 20C is 92.08mmHg.
a. Find the vapor pressure of methanol (1) at 20C.
b. Determine the parameters A and B in Van Laar Equation and Margules Equation
using linear plots (See lecture notes)
1 of 2
c. Plot the data and model preditions of the activity coefficeints 1 and 2 versus liquid mole fraction
x1 for Van Laar and Margules models. Comment on any model-data discrepency (deviation of
calculated from data).
d. Plot vapor mole fraction y1 versus versus liquid mole fraction x1 along with 45 line.
e. Plot the total pressure (data and calculated values) versus liquid and vapor mole fractions.
Is there any azeotrope? If yes, find the vapor and liquid compositions?
Antoine equation coeficients: A=8.08097;B=1582.271;C=239.726 for Methanol.
