The system of water ( 1 ) / n - pentane ( 2 ) / n - hexane ( 3 ) exists as a vapor

The system of water(1)/n-pentane(2)/n-hexane(3) exists as a vapor at 101.325kPa,
100C with mole fraction z1=0.45,z2=0.25,z3=0.30. The system is slowly
cooled at constant pressure until it is completely condensed into a water phase and a
hydrocarbon phase. Assuming that (1) the two liquid phases are immiscible, (2) the
vapor phase is an ideal gas, and (3) the hydrocarbons obey Raoult's law, determine
the following:
(a)(i) The dew point temperature of the mixture and (ii) the composition of the
first condensate.
(b)(i) The temperature at which the second liquid phase first appears. (ii) Also
find its initial composition.
(c)(i) The bubble point temperature and (ii) the composition of the last bubble
of vapor.
Vapor pressure of hydrocarbons are given as:
lnP2sat(kPa)=13.8183-2477.07T(C)+233.21
lnP3sat(kPa)=13.8216-2697.55T(C)+224.37
