Explanation of Solution
Refer APPENDIX-B and Table-B.1 to determine critical properties and acentric factor of ethylene(1)/Propylene2) as:
Component | Pc (bar) | Tc (K) | Vc (cm3/mol) |

Zc |
Ethylene (1) | 50.40 | 282.3 | 131 | 0.087 | 0.281 |
Propylene (2) | 46.65 | 365.6 | 188.4 | 0.140 | 0.289 |
Where,
Pc = critical pressure
Tc = critical temperature
Vc = critical volume
Zc = critical compressibility factor
