1) At 90°C, the vapour pressure of methylbenzene is 53.

3 kPa
and that of 1,3-dimethylbenzene is 18.0 kPa. What is the
composition of a liquid mixture that boils at 90°C when the
pressure is 0.40 atm? What is the composition of the vapour
produced?

2) The vapour pressure of pure liquid A at 293 K is 68.8 kPa and


that of pure liquid B is 82.1 kPa. These two compounds form
ideal liquid and gaseous mixtures. Consider the equilibrium
composition of a mixture in which the mole fraction of A in the
vapour is 0.612. Calculate the total pressure of the vapour and
the composition of the liquid mixture.
3) It is found that the boiling point of a binary solution of A and B
with xA = 0.479 is 88°C. At this temperature the vapour
pressures of pure A and B are 130.1 kPa and 74.9 kPa,
respectively. (a) Is this solution ideal? (b) What is the initial
composition of the vapour above the solution?
