Consider the n-hexane (1) + ethanol (2) system at 1 bar. Using Raoult’s Law, predict the system temperature and vapor-phase composition for this mixture and provide a Txy plot for this mixture. Compare the results of your modeling with the set of experimental data provided for this system in Table P10-18. Plot the data (as points) on the same plot as your model. Is this system properly modeled by Raoult’s Law? Why or why not?
