TUTORIAL 2

1. Assuming the validity of Raoult’s law, do the following calculations for

benzene(1)/toluene(2) system.
a) At temperature = 100oC (373.15 K) and liquid phase composition of benzene = 0.33,
determine the pressure and vapor phase compositions.
b) At temperature = 100oC (373.15 K) and vapor phase composition of toluene = 0.67,
determine the pressure and liquid phase compositions.
c) Sketch P-x1-y1 diagram for a) and b).
d) At pressure = 120 kPa and liquid phase composition of benzene = 0.33, determine the
temperature and vapor phase compositions.
e) At pressure = 120 kPa and vapor phase composition of toluene = 0.67, determine the
temperature and liquid phase compositions.
f) Sketch T-x1-y1 diagram for d) and e).
