A binary system of species 1 and 2 consists of vapor and liquid phases in equilibrium at temperature T. The overall mole fraction of species 1 in the system is z1= 0.65. At temperature T, In
Assuming the validity of Eq. (13.19),
(a) Over what range of pressures can this system exist as two phases at the given T and z1?
(b) For a liquid-phase mole fraction x1= 0.75, what is the pressure P and what molar fraction V of the system is vapor?
(c) Show whether or not the system exhibits an azeotrope.
