Benzene can break the ethanol/water azeotrope to produce nearly pure ethanol. Wilson constants for the ethanol (1)/benzene

Question:

Benzene can break the ethanol/water azeotrope to produce nearly pure ethanol. Wilson constants for the ethanol (1)/benzene (2) system at 45οC are L12 = 0.124 and L21 = 0.523. Use these with theWilson equation to predict liquid-phase activity coefficients over the composition range and compare them, in a plot like Figure 2.12, with the experimental results [Austral. J. Chem., 7, 264 (1954)]:
