The following equations are given for the liquid-phase activity coefficients of the water (W)-acetic acid (A) system.log yw = x[A + B(4xw 1) + C(xw - xA )(6xwFind the dew point and bubble point of a mixture of composition xw = 0.5, xA = 0.5 at 1 atm. Flash the mixture at a temperature halfway between the dew point and the bubblepoint.

log yw = x[A + B(4xw 1) + C(xw - xA )(6xw - 1) log YA = xlA + B(4.xw - 3) + C(xw - X)(6xw - 5)) 64.24 A = 0.1182 + T(K) 43.27 R = B = 0.1735 - T(K) C= 0.1081
