Phenol and water form non-ideal liquid mixtures. When 7.32 g of phenol and 7.95 g of water are mixed together at 60 °C they form two immiscible liquid phases with mole fractions of phenol of 0. 0 42 and 0 .161 . (a) Calculate the overall mole fraction of phenol in the mixture. (b) Use the lever rule to determine the relative amounts of the two phases .
