Question

100 moles per minute of an equimolar mixture of methyl ethyl ketone (1) and toluene (2) are flashed from 760 mm Hg to 460 mm Hg at 75 C. You know, experimentally that the infinite dilution activity coefficient of methyl ethyl ketone in toluene is 1.44 at this temperature. Likewise, you know that the experimental value for infinite dilution activity coefficient of toluene in methyl ethyl ketone is 1.33 at this temperature. Solve for the composition and amount of each equilibrium phase if the liquid is treated as modeled by the 2-parameter Margules equation.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the Margulus equation where PA and PB are the fractional vapour pressures of the dual constituents and xA and xB are the liquid mole fractions. This equation opens up the relation among the change of mole fraction with fractional pressure of a component in a mixture of liquid.
