A binary mixture containing acetone and ethylacetate, is vaporized in a flash unit at atmospheric pressure to determine the equilibrium temperature and compositions. The liquid

A binary mixture containing acetone and ethylacetate, is vaporized in a flash unit at atmospheric pressure to determine the equilibrium temperature and compositions. The liquid and condensed vapor samples are taken for 6 times and analyzed by the gas chromatography. The gas chromatography results are given in Table 2. The calibration curves for acetone and ethyl acetate are defined by the relation between the peak area and injected volume as A=51016L and A=41016L, respectively, where A is peak area in area unit and v is injected volume in m3.
a) Calculate the mole fractions of the components both in liquid and vapor phases. [10 points]
b) Plot the "y vs x" and "T vs x-y" diagrams. [5 points]
c) Calculate the activity coefficients. [5 points]
