1.) The Peng-Robinson equation of state has the following form:
oir a)
vob vive baby 5)
where
a= 045724 = a(n) b= 0.07780 a
ee=[14 (037464 + 1542260 ~0.269920")1- JF)
and T. and P, are the critical temperature and pressure, respectively, and « is the acentric
factor. Given this equation of state, derive the following expression for the fugecity
coefficient of a pure species,

RT} 2 2bRT | Z+(1-V2]oP a
2.) Calculate the fugacity for each species in the following gases at 290 K. and 800 bar:
a, Pure oxygen
b. Pure nitrogen
3.) The coexistence (vapor-liquid) line of methylmercaptan is described by the following
equation:
2338.3
7(K)-3
InP™ (men Hg) = 16.1909 ~
‘a. What phase is methylmercaptan in at 273 K and 1 bar? What is the fugacity of
methylmercaptan at 273 K and 1 bar?
b. What phase is methylmercaptan in at 273 K and 0.5 bar? What is the fugacity of
methylmercaptan at 273 K and 0.5 bar?
4.) Calculate the fugacity for each species in the following gases at 290 K and 800 bar:
a. Oxygen and nitrogen in a 30 mol % Oz, 70 mol % No mixture using the Lewis-
Randall Rule
b. Oxygen and nitrogen in the mixture in part a using the Peng-Robinson equation of
state for the mixture5)
‘At 35°C the vapor pressure of solid naphthalene is 2.80%10"* bar and its density is 1.145
g cm", Calculate the solubility of naphthalene in compressed ethylene at 35°C and at to-
tal pressure of 30 bar:
(a) Using the ideal-gas law.
(b) Using the virial equation of state truncated after the second term For the second
virial coefficient B use the van der Waals result,

Van der Waals constants a and 6 are related to the critical constants. For the gas mixture
assume that a and b are a quadratic and a linear function of the mole fraction, respec-
