    2. A mixture containing equimolar amounts of benzene(1), toluene(2), and
    ethylbenzene(3) is flashed to conditions T and P. Determine the equilibrium mole
    fractions {𝑥𝑖} and {𝑦𝑖} of the liquid and vapor phases formed and the molar fraction 𝒱
    of the vapor formed. Assume that Raoult’s law applies.

    3. A concentrated binary solution containing mostly species 2 (but 𝑥​2 ≠ 1) is in
    equilibrium with a vapor phase containing both species 1 and 2. The pressure of this
    two-phase system is 1 bar; the temperature is 25°C. Determine from the following
    data good estimates of 𝑥​1​ and 𝑦​1​. State and justify all assumptions.
    ℋ1 = 200 𝑏𝑎𝑟

    4. A liquid mixture of cyclohexanone(1)/phenol(2) for which 𝑥1 = 0.6 is in equilibrium
    with its vapor at 144°C. Determine the equilibrium pressure P and vapor composition
    𝑦1 from the following information:
    • ln 𝛾​1​ = 𝐴𝑥​2​2​ and ln 𝛾​2​ = 𝐴𝑥​1​2
    • At 144℃, 𝑃​1​𝑠𝑎𝑡​ = 75.20 and 𝑃​2​𝑠𝑎𝑡​ = 31.66 kPa
    • The system forms an azeotrope at 144℃ for which 𝑥​1​az​=y​1​az​=0.294

    5. A binary system of species 1 and 2 consists of vapor and liquid phases in
    equilibrium at temperature T, for which
    ln 𝛾​1​ = 1.80𝑥​2​2
    ln 𝛾​2​ = 1.80𝑥​1​2
    𝑃​1​𝑠𝑎𝑡​ = 1.24 𝑏𝑎𝑟
    𝑃​2​𝑠𝑎𝑡​ = 0.89 𝑏𝑎𝑟

    Assuming the validity of y​i​P=x​i​𝜸​i​P​i​sat​.


    d. For what range of values of the overall mole fraction 𝑧1 can this
    two-phase system exist with a liquid mole fraction 𝑥1 = 0.65? (Hint: Use
    𝑉 = (z​1​-x​1​)/(y​1​-x​1​) correlation)
    e. What is the pressure P and vapor mole fraction 𝑦​1​ within this range?
    f. What are the pressure and composition of the azeotrope at
    temperature T?

    6. For the acetone(1)/methanol(2) system, a vapor mixture for which 𝑧​1 = 0.25 and 𝑧​2
    = 0.75 is cooled to temperature T in the two-phase region and flows into a separation
    chamber at a pressure of 1 bar. If the composition of the liquid product is to be 𝑥​1 =
    0.175, what is the required value of T, and what is the value of 𝑦​1​? For liquid mixtures
    of this system to a good approximation:
    ln 𝛾​1​ = 0.64𝑥​2​2​ and ln 𝛾2 = 0.64𝑥​1​2

    7. The stream from a gas well is a mixture containing 50 mol% methane, 10 mol%
    ethane, 20 mol% propane, and 20 mol% n-butane. This stream is fed into a partial
    condenser maintained at a pressure of 250 psia, where its temperature is brought to
    80°F. Determine the molar fraction of the gas that condenses and the composition of
    the liquid and vapor phases leaving the condenser.

    8. A mixture consisting of 1 mol% ethane, 5 mol% propane, 44 mol% n-butane, and
    50 mol% isobutane is brought to a condition of 70°F at pressure P. If the molar
    fraction of the system that is vapor is 0.2, what is pressure P, and what are the
    compositions of the vapor and liquid phases? (Hint: Use DePriester chart and 𝐾𝑖
    =𝑦𝑖/𝑥𝑖 correlation)

    9. A binary mixture of benzene(1) and toluene(2) is flashed to 75 kPa and 90°C.
    analysis of the effluent liquid and vapor streams from the separator yields: 𝑥1 =
    0.1604 and 𝑦1 = 0.2919.

    An operator remarks that the product streams are “off-spec,” and you are asked to
    diagnose the problem.
    a. Verify that the existing streams are not in binary equilibrium.
    b. Verify that an air leak into the separator could be the cause.

    10. A light hydrocarbon mixture containing 5 mol% propane, 85 mol% n-butane, and
    10 mol% n-pentane is stored as a liquid under its vapor pressure in a refrigerated
    tank. Available refrigeration keeps the contents of the tank at 40°F. Although the tank
    contains ample vapor space, it is essentially full of liquid on a molar basis. What is
    the storage pressure? (Hint: Assume 𝑇𝑏𝑢𝑏𝑙 = 40℉ and use DePriester chart)
