Question:

For ethanol(1)-isooctane(2) mixtures at 50οC, the infinitedilution, liquid-phase activity coefficients are and

(a) Calculate the cnstants A12 and A21 in the van Laar equations.
(b) Calculate the constants L12 and L21 in the Wilson equations.
(c) Using the constants from (a) And (b), Calculate Υand Υ2 over the composition range and plot the points as log g versus x1.
(d) How well do the van Laar and Wilson predictions agree with the azeotropic point x1 = 0.5941, Υ1  1.44, and Υ2 = 2.18?
(e) Show that the van Laar equation erroneously predicts two liquid phases over a portion of the composition range by calculating and plotting a y–x diagram like Figure 2.16.
