You are dealing with a binary liquid solution of species (1) and (2) at 1 bar. The
Question:
You are dealing with a binary liquid solution of species (1) and (2) at 1 bar. The molar Gibbs energy for this liquid solution is given as
g=1000x1+800x2+RT(x1lnx1+x2lnx2)+6000x1x2 [J/mol]
(1) Identify the terms in the g-x1-x2 expression provided. Based on this expression, describe the nature of interactions for this binary system. Determine the constant for the two-suffix Margules model.
(2) Explain why partial miscibility can be developed for this binary solution. Use the fugacity criteria to determine the equilibrium compositions of two partially miscible phases at a given temperature (T); that is to derive the expressions for the pair of co-existing partially miscible solutions. Present and explain your process clearly.
