A binary system of species 1 and 2 consists of vapor and liquid phases in equilibrium
at temperature T. The overall mole fraction of species 1 in the system is z1 = 0.65. At
temperature T, lnγ1 = 0.67 x2

(a) Over what range of pressures can this system exist as two phases at the given T and z1?
(b) For a liquid-phase mole fraction x1 = 0.75, what is the pressure P and what molar
fraction of the system is vapor?
(c) Show whether or not the system exhibits an azeotrope
