The liquid-vapour equilibrium diagram of the acetone-chloroform mixture is shown below. A mixture containing 40% (molar percentage) of chloroform was heated to a temperature of 60°C, under a pressure of 1 atm. a) For a temperature of 60°C, what is the molar fraction of chloroform in the liquid phase and what is the molar fraction in the vapor phase, respectively? b) What is the molar fraction of chloroform and acetone at the azeotropic point?
