A liquid mixture containing 25 mol% benzene and 75 mol% ethyl alcohol, in which components are miscible in all proportions, is heated at a constant pressure of 1 atm from 60C to 90C. Using the following T–x–y experimental data, determine 

(a) The temperature where vaporization begins; 

(b) The composition of the first bubble of vapor; 

(c) The composition of the residual liquid when 25 mol % has evaporated, assuming that all vapor formed is retained in the apparatus and is in equilibrium with the residual liquid. 

(d) Repeat part (c) for 90 mol% vaporized. 

(e) Repeat part (d) if, after 25 mol% is vaporized as in part (c), the vapor formed is removed and an additional 35 mol% is vaporized by the same technique used in part (c). 

(f) Plot temperature versus mol% vaporized for parts (c) and (e).

(g) Use the following vapor pressure data with Raoult’s and Dalton’s laws to construct a T–x–y diagram, and compare it to the answers obtained in parts (a) and (f) with those obtained using the experimental T–x–y data. What are your conclusions?
