The system water(l)/n-pentane(2)/n-heptane(3) exists as a vapor at 101.33 kPa and 100C with mole fractions z 1

Question:

The system water(l)/n-pentane(2)/n-heptane(3) exists as a vapor at 101.33 kPa and 100°C with mole fractions z1 = 0.45, z2 = 0.30, z3 = 0.25. The system is slowly cooled at constant pressure until it is completely condensed into a water phase and a hydrocarbon phase. Assuming that the two liquid phases are immiscible, that the vapor phase is an ideal gas, and that the hydrocarbons obey Raoult’s law, determine:

(a) The dewpoint temperature of the mixture and composition of the first condensate.

(b) The temperature at which the second liquid phase appears and its initial composition.

(c) The bubblepoint temperature and the composition of the last bubble of vapor. See Table B.2 for vapor-pressure equations.
