Question

The vapor pressures of heptane (substance 1) and octane (substance 2) are as follows:

Temp(°C) vapor pressure heptane(mmHg) vapor pressure octane (mmHg)
98.5 760 342
100 795 354
110 1047 482
120 1367 646
126 1560 760

Assuming the above liquid mixture obeys Raoult's law:

  1. Sketch the diagram of the boiling point for a total vapor pressure of 760 mm Hg.
  2. Determine the bubble point (bubble temp) if x 1 = 0.3 at 760 mm Hg.
  3. Determine the dew point if y1 = 0.3 at 760 mm Hg
  4. Make a P-xy equilibrium diagram at 110° C
  5. Graphically calculate the bubble pressure if x1 = 0.6 at 110° C
  6. Graphically calculate the dew pressure if y1 = 0.6 at 110 o C
