A mixture of methanol (a) and ethyl acetate (b) exhibits an azeotrope at 55C. Their saturation pressures

Question:

A mixture of methanol

(a) and ethyl acetate

(b) exhibits an azeotrope at 55°C. Their saturation pressures are 68.8 and 46.5 kPa, respectively. The liquid-phase nonideality can be described by the two-suffi x Margules equation, with A = 2900 J/mol. What is the pressure and composition of the azeotrope? Does this mixture form a maximum-boiling azeotrope or a minimum-boiling azeotrope? Explain.
