Question: Use the Pxy graph ( below ) for the system 1 , 4 - dioxane ( 1 ) / methanol ( 2 ) at 3

Use the Pxy graph (below) for the system 1,4-dioxane (1)/ methanol (2) at 308.5K to answer the following questions (draw on the graph and attach it to your solutions):
a) What is the saturation pressure of methanol at 308.5K?2 pts
b) What is the phase of a mixture that contains 40% dioxane at 308.5K and 0.14 bar? Mark the phases on the graph (V, L and V/L) and mark the point for this mixture (point "b")3 pts
c) Determine the bubble and dew pressure of a mixture that contains 40% dioxane at 308.5K. Mark the bubble and dew lines on the graph. 5 pts
d) At what pressure should the mixture with 40% dioxane be flashed at 308.5K to obtain vapor that is 70% rich in methanol? 5 pts
e) What is the composition of the liquid and the amounts of the liquid and vapor phases after flash from the previous question? 5 pts
