The graph provides the relation between Weight% of NH3 and its partial pressure over aqueous ammonia
solutions.
We can calculate mole fraction of NH3(X) from weight% of NH3as:
X=
From the values of mm of Hg we get Y = P*/Ptotal
P* =
gives Y =

After obtaining the equilibrium and operating line we take the average of the y values of operating line
and equilibrium line for same value of x and get the bisection line.
