Benzene and ethanol (e) form azeotropic mixtures. Prepare a y-x and a P-x-y diagram for the benzene-ethanol system at 45°C assuming the mixture is ideal. Compare the results with the experimental data tabulated below of Brown and Smith, Austral. J. Chem. 264 (1954). (P in the data table is in bar.)
