Exercises For Lecture 1: DR Colin Hare

This document contains exercises for a lecture on chemical engineering. It includes an example problem on using Raoult's law to calculate vapor and liquid compositions in equilibrium for a benzene-toluene system using vapor pressure data. The steps shown are: writing Raoult's law for a binary mixture, relating partial pressures to mole fractions in vapor and liquid phases, and calculating equilibrium data at different temperatures using total pressure and vapor pressure values. A table of results is presented along with notes about plotting T-x-y and x-y diagrams from the data.

Example 1 Phase Diagram & Equilibrium Curve

Use Raoult's Law to calculate the vapour and liquid


compositions in equilibrium (in mole fractions, y and x) for the
benzene-toluene system using vapour pressure data measure
at a pressure of 101.32 kPa as shown in the table below :

Solution to Example 1

Write Raoult's Law for a binary mixture of A and B


p = P
x ; pB = Pvp,B xB = Pvp,B (1 - xA)
A
vp,A A
The total pressure, PT = pA + pB
Replacing for the partial pressures and re-arrange, we have:

As Pvp,A xA = yA PT, then

The Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium data can be calculated at each temperature by


substituting for total pressure (101.32 kPa) and the appropriate vapour
pressures. For example, at 85.0 oC,
