PART B
1.The following values refer to the wilson parameters for the system acetone(1)-Water(2): (16)
-6 3 -6 3
a12 =1225.31J/mol,a21=6051.01J/mol,V1=74.0510 m /mol,V2=18.0710 m /mol. The vapour
pressures are given by
lnP1s=14.39155-(2795.817/(T-43.198)),lnP2s =16.26205-(3799.887/(T-46.854)) Where P is in kPa and T is
in k. Calculate the equilibrium pressure and composition of
a).Vapour in equilibrium with a liquid of composition x 1=0.43 at 349k
b).The liquid in equilibrium with a vapour of concentration y 1=0.8 at 349k

2).Water(1)-Hydrazine(2) system forms an azeotrope containing 58.5 % (mol)hydrazine at 393K and

101.3kpa.Calculate the equilibrium composition for a solution containing 20% (mol) Hydrazine. The
relative volatility of water with reference to hydrazine is 1.6 and may be assumed to remain constant in
the temperature range involved. The vapour pressure of hydrazine at 393k is 124.76kpa. (8)

3)Explain in detail about testing the consistency of VLE data. (16)
